Thursday thru Saturday shows were sold out, but the Crossroads were nice enough to set up another non advertise show for some lucky fans. I was one of those lucky fans. I… Read More Brian Fallon/Jared Hart/Rocky Catenese – The Crossroads – Garwood, NJ – 12/2/15
On Black Friday, the Lehigh Valley experience not one, not two, but three reunions at Jabber Jaws in Allentown.

I always wanted to photograph a Halloween show because I thought it would be neat to capture that memory of the band wearing costumes on stage. If this is my only one, it was a great show to attend.

I’ve been getting hit with nostalgia these past couple of years. Bands that I thought were over and done with started coming back to do a few shows or maybe even make new music. The music industry is a weird place as always, but I feel bands are starting to make some money doing reunion… Read More Armor For Sleep / Owel / The Moms / The Cold Seas – Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ – 9/18/15
