So blog posts have been missing the past two weeks you say….well it’s because I have been busy with one concert shoot after another! I have a few to share with you here, and even more to come in another post, so take a look!
I’ll start with Mat Kearney and Ingrid Michaelson, who played a double bill show in Baltimore at the end of March. If you aren’t already a fan of one, or both you might recognize their music from Grey’s Anatomy. They both have been played on the show, Ingrid here , and Mat here and Mat again here….And I think they’ve probably been played a dozen times more on that show than I even can find online! But even without the Grey’s Anatomy reference both these artist would be great. Mat has such a soothing voice, and his lyrics lend themselves to so many real life scenarios. Ingrid is a bit quirky and fun, but has a beautiful voice as well, and was a riot to see on stage as she jokes with the crowd in between every song!
Just two days after Mat and Ingrid I got to photograph SPOON at the 9:30 Club in DC. I have to admit when I first heard Spoon was playing I thought it was Sponge, and I mean Spoon, Sponge, both items in the kitchen right? Both one word ‘S’ name bands…but yeah anyway, it was Spoon NOT Sponge. Not to worry though turns out I like Spoon too, and they put on a kick-ass show! Scroll past Mat and Ingrid’s pictures to see some images from their show. (Ok well don’t scroll past, look at them all ok?)
Here’s Mat:








And now on to Ingrid:






Next we have Spoon…and I just had to snag a picture before they even got on stage of this retro band-aid box they had on top of a guitar pedal. I guess playing on stage is a hazard, and they like to be prepared?

I only was able to get the first three songs at the Spoon show, and i was nudged in between bunches of fans, so I could get a great full band shot, but I was excited with how the shots I was able to get of their lead singer Britt Daniel turned out.




Next up in the world of music will be Pat McGee, Midlake and the amazing metal hairband STEEL PANTHERS. Catch them in the next blog post

These are spectacular. You really do catch them at their most expressive and passionate moments. I can’t wait for more!
Wow!!! These are amazing…live music is always so difficult, but you knocked this one out of the park.
These are fantastic! That would have been a great concert to see! They’re all great, but I LOVE the first one of Matt & the black & white one of him & the stagelights. Well done!
