Skid Row at the Grizzly Rock, Lakewood, Colorado 081812

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 ever, was just incredible. And Johnny Solinger on vocals? Pulling off those metal screams from the songs off Slave To

Hairball at the Grizzly Rock, Lakewood Colorado 081012

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 about 800 people, but told me to come back on Friday for Hairball, a Minnesota-based cover band who I had

Paradise City and Warrant at the Grizzly Rock, Lakewood, Colorado 072812

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 Guildner for making this happen. Here’s to a LOT of future shows together! Paradise City just rocked their set with

Pena, Native Daughters and Russian Circles at the Bluebird Theater, Denver, Colorado 070212

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 and click through “more” below for all of the night’s shots! What can I shoot for you?

Crawfish at The Yabby Hut, Lakewood, Colorado 031512

Pardon the diversion…I couldn’t resist a quick snap and a personal post tonight! That’s 3 lbs of crawfish, spread on a table and steaming hot! We were thrilled to find this place today, and couldn’t believe we hadn’t even known that a cheap and very tasty crawfish shack had been open a few minutes from us for two years! Crawfish, a root beer, a basket of calamari, a fried banana for desert and a bib

Coffee Cupping at Noa Noa Coffee in Golden, Colorado 033112

This was a lot of fun. Rick Myers and the owner of Noa Noa set up this cupping, and invited the roaster to come in and educate the masses a bit about four different coffees he specializes in, and some different techniques and equipment. As a HUGE espresso fan, it was so interesting to find some brewed roasts I actually like, and it was fascinating to taste everything that was going on with the Rwanda.

Moreland and Arbuckle at the Toad Tavern, Littleton, Colorado, 033012

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 just buy tickets at an outlet. Well, the ticket outlet couldn’t even find the show in their system, so I
