It has been so long since I discovered Boy Hits Car, and have waited and waited and waited for a tour and a Denver date. Well, my wish finally came true, and they came to town on the Taproot tour, and just tore up the Denver crowd at Herman’s Hideaway on 050913. I emailed the [...]

It’s always great to see the guys when they pass through Denver. Last year, I wasn’t thrilled with the Toad Tavern’s lighting, but for some reason, the blue light really worked and Dustin had a decent spotlight on him this time. Too bad the show didn’t get hyped up more on 103.5 The Fox, but [...]

What a great event! Over 11,000 turned out to what is normally a 9,000+ capacity facility for this year’s Easter Sunrise Service, and the beauty and grace of Red Rocks Amphitheater gets a bit of the credit for that. The weather was perfect with no breeze, clear moonlit skies, and a steady 30F until the [...]

Well, I’ve seen Winger 4 times in my life, and this had to be the best, because I was taking pictures as a pro! Who would have thought that the band that got grief for being a bit cheesy so long ago is really the last band standing with the most musical talent, the least [...]

I love the Grizzly Rock more and more with every show! It is just the perfect fit for any rock show in Denver. The lighting and sound are just stellar, and complemented Skid Row so perfectly. Seeing Rachel Bolan, Dave “The Snake” Sabo, Scotti Hill, Rob Hammersmith after all these years, sounding as great as [...]

Hairball at the Grizzly Rock, Lakewood CO 081012 Another great show at the Grizzly Rock! Cinderella bailed on Denver the night before, and I was supposed to grab a few promo shots of the club for a graphics company. Corey Guildner was bummed at the band’s shenanigans and the thought of having no headliner for [...]

This was my first time shooting at the Grizzly Rock! It was so great to see an awesome new venue in the same building as After The Gold Rush and Hollywood Legends, where I saw so many great rock shows back in the day. Great staff, great drinks, GREAT SOUND, and great lighting…thanks to Corey [...]

I have a few shots that I have been thinking about lately from the last few years that have not made it onto this site, until now. No matter whether it is attending a concert, an Easter Sunrise Service, watching Scramble Campbell paint, running the stairs with a hundred others on a weekend, or just [...]

What a blast! It’s been a while since I’ve seen a hard show, and it was great to catch up with Nick Sullivan from Pena again, and catch two other bands I had never seen before. The dueling drummers from Native Daughters and the heavy grind from Russian Circles just blew me away. Make sure [...]

Shooting this show worked out so perfectly! I love Moreland and Arbuckle! I thought that I would email the band, and get things approved ahead of time to photograph the set. Well, that didn’t work out quick enough on my end, and our friends Sean and Amy were definitely going, so I thought we would [...]

I’m revisiting this set now, because I am so excited about Lisa’s new material, and the possibility of a US tour. I had left the shots unprocessed this long because the venue and billing that night did such a disservice to Lisa. This was my first time seeing Lisa Hannigan, and she opened for Jason [...]

What an unbelievable show. Blown away by Tommy’s groove, amazed once again by Dragon’s set, and then to see the best there is, Matt Darey, at work? Just awesome. Once again, Beta could not have been nicer or more accommodating to me. Plenty of access, shooting from the go-go boxes, and one hell of a [...]
