I'm slowly easing back into photography, and brought my camera to the zoo show tonight.I love Aimee. She's probably an acquired taste, but she's a fantastic songwriter. Tonight she did mainly her older songs (guys like me, freeway, save me, wise up...), but she threw in a few surprises as well. One of them being 2 new songs from an album she is going to start recording next … [Read more...] about 8/21/11 Aimee Mann

Summer Break
Things have been a bit quiet, not too many shows are coming around that I care to see (or photograph). And the only shows that I AM planning to see, are the zoo shows... doubtful that I'll be getting a photo pass for any of those. I'll be spending the remainder of summer, working on my web design and taking a break from photography. Frankly, I think I need it... as much as I … [Read more...] about Summer Break
5/4/11 KT Tunstall/Meiko
At long last, I've finally seen KT! Instead of playing with her band in one of the bigger clubs, she's on a solo tour as a one-woman band. Let's see, there was 5+ guitars, a keyboard, a drum, a foot pedal tambourine, and a kazoo. Oh, and let's not forget the looping/tracking machine she uses to layer everything "Talented" doesn't even begin to describe this woman. My … [Read more...] about 5/4/11 KT Tunstall/Meiko
4/23/11 Mindy Smith
As someone thats going through a broken heart, Mindy couldn't have come to Seattle at a better time. She can be a little raw and unusual, but I think that made me like her even more. "Gave it all I had, but it was not enough It didn't make me strong, it didn't make me tough Its just, stupid love" Cheers to that... … [Read more...] about 4/23/11 Mindy Smith
4/16/11 Ani Difranco
I can't even BEGIN to describe what shooting this show meant to me. Before Brandi, I was an Ani FREAK. Lets see, it was my early 20's, and Ani was my first musical crush. I learned every song on guitar (yep, even the ones with crazy tunings), and followed her all around the west coast, catching 7 shows at a time. It was literally the best years of my life, and completely worth … [Read more...] about 4/16/11 Ani Difranco
3/27/11 Uh Huh Her
It took a few years, but Seattle FINALLY got this band to play here in a club :) Let's see, was it TWICE that a show got cancelled here? They were here at bumbershoot last year, but.... that didn't count for me. I LOVE THIS BAND, and wanted to see them in a club with real fans, and playing a real set, and having a better sound mix than what bumbershoot provided for them. So … [Read more...] about 3/27/11 Uh Huh Her
3/11/11 Kaki King
Kaki King is a incredible guitarist, and I've been meaning to see her for years. Being that I don't spend a lot of time on YouTube, I wasn't sure what to expect. Her last albums have been filled with more vocal songs than usual (vs instrumental), so I was expecting her to come out and rock us with a band. Umm, nope. Instead it was just her and about 8 guitars on the … [Read more...] about 3/11/11 Kaki King
2/12/11 Nicole Atkins
[singlepic id=632 w=250 float=right] I've been waiting to see Nicole for YEARS, simply because once upon a time I was OBSESSED with her "Neptune City" song. I really had no idea what to expect. In the past I youtubed some of her live stuff, and wasn't too impressed. Well I must have watched the wrong stuff, cuz this girl is GREAT!! Not only was the band rockin, but she's got a … [Read more...] about 2/12/11 Nicole Atkins

1/27/11 Grace Potter and the Nocturnals (The Crocodile)
[singlepic id=606 w=250 h=166 float=right] I have seen Grace once before, as an opening act a few years ago. It was quickly obvious that this energetic band was meant to be seen in a packed room full of hardcore fans. I FINALLY got my chance to see them in such a setting, and got a last minute photo pass as well. This was one tight, visualy interesting, fun band! They are a … [Read more...] about 1/27/11 Grace Potter and the Nocturnals (The Crocodile)
