The Fray @ the 9:30 Club

February 20, 2009

Does anyone like The Fray? I know I do – they really have such a great sound, unique with Issac Slade’s powerful voice and piano skills…and I was excited when I had the opportunity to photograph the band up close not once but twice when they were in town January 16th!

Some of you know, and some of you may not, but I have the privilege of being Gibson Guitars DC go-to-girl for photography! When it came to the Fray, I was doubly pleased. I was able to snap some pictures in the afternoon at the Gibson Loft in the Chinatown area of DC, where they did an intimate 3 song performance for a group of lucky radio contest winners!

Then later that evening I had a press pass to shoot them live at their performance at DC’s best known music venue – the 9:30 Club on 9th and V streets. The Fray had a really unique stage presence, with Issac Slade’s Baby Grand piano front and center, and a whole stage full of different vintage and retro lamps everywhere.

I have a few more exciting music events to blog soon, but for now I hope you enjoy some shots of The Fray. They were awesome!!

Lisa: Hi there, I was at the Gibson show and I was one of the last people to have my photo taken with them...I was the girl who got to "attempt" to play my guitar for them. Anyway, I had asked Mix 107.3 if they could send me the photos that the photographer took (assuming you) and they said they were trying to get them for me...now that I know it was you, do you have any photos of me playing for them? I remember a photographer taking photos of that awesome experience, so I hope it is you! If so, I would you mind sharing them with me? Please let me know if you have any! Thanks! Lisa
