My first real show after my “hiatus” and it was a great show to get back into the swing of things. Deemed the Summer of Ska tour, this is the continuation of the winter tour featuring Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake. Maybe the first leg was called Winter of Ska tour? I’m not… Read More Reel Big Fish / Less Than Jake / Ballyhoo! – Sherman Theater – Stroudsburg, PA – 6/6/15
It’s been awhile since I photographed a show. After tour I moved to New Jersey, started a new job, and have been busy ever since. I made sure to catch up on things before I started photographing more shows. However, when a free show with The Snails, The West Kensingtons, and Backyard Superheroes came up,… Read More The Snails / The West Kensingtons / Backyard Superheroes – The Compound – Philadelphia, PA – 5/23/15
The last and final date of tour was in a small steel town called McKees Rocks, PA. The town is located on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. I’ve never heard of the town, but I expected it to be a blue collar type of town. As always the drive took some time, but we did our… Read More Gasoline Heart 2015 Tour Day 5: McKees Rocks, PA – 3/27/15
Today was a driving day to Cleveland. A 5 hour drive or 6 depending on how you look at it with the change in time zone. The ride was a typical drive, listening to music like Mike Rocket, if you want a good laugh, reading, sleeping, and thinking of life choices. Such as do I… Read More Gasoline Heart 2015 Tour Day 4: Cleveland, OH – 3/26/15
Today is a day off and currently noon. Everyone is still sleeping and I’m just relaxing and reading. Sometimes days off can be good, to get a break from driving around. You also tend to sleep longer and take it slow. I talked with the person that we are staying with about photography and social… Read More Gasoline Heart 2015 Tour Day 3: Chicago, IL – 3/25/15
Last night’s show went well, even with a bigger show next door. The band sounded real good, and so did the sound at the venue. After the show we made our way to a hotel to crash. I slept on the floor which is usual for me on tour because I’m not the “talent”. I… Read More Gasoline Heart 2015 Tour Day 2: Chicago, IL – 3/24/15
A month ago, I went on tour with Brooklyn based band Gasoline Heart. Due to personal issues, I wasn’t able to get my experience up on my site until now.

Taking Back Sunday brought their latest tour to Philadelphia, not for just one night but for two nights on March 21 and March 22. I attended the sold out Saturday show of March 21 and to say I was impressed is an understatement.

In 2013 I learned something through this crazy weird life. Nothing is impossible. I look back at all the things I’ve done and seen and I always think, “how?”. When 2014 ended, I realized I’ve photographed a lot of bands that I grew up listening to that have broke up, but are now back together. … Read More The Movielife / Crime In Stereo – Theatre Of Living Arts – Philadelphia, PA – 3/6/15
As music listeners in this day in age, we tend to listen to music more fluently. Having everything at the tips of our fingers makes it easier for us to listen to countless of albums in one day. However, before that happened, we would go out and purchase an album and then spend at least… Read More Commit This To Memory 10 Year Tour with Motion City Soundtrack / The Early November / Better Off – Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ – 1/31/15
