Last summer, I noticed that my friend and fellow concert photographer, Tina Hagerling aka @goldi_rocks, was doing this lovely series of Pandemic Portraits. Of course, I asked begged to be included and she kindly accommodated me. We took the photo in my backyard, on my…

It's exciting as we start to see the world come back online, I'm hearing from more and more musicians who have new music and are making plans for 2021. Recently I got on the phone with Irish singer Stephanie Rainey to interview her about her…

After having been on a break, I'm getting back to chatting with people about music and the (hopeful) return of normalcy. Was happy to hear from a Denver band who I have not yet seen live, The Lost Dolls, and talk about what they have…

Here in Denver, we have finally embraced using our streets for public spaces. Sadly, it took a global pandemic to do it - but I, for one, am all for these changes being permanent. Recently I heard about a project in Sweden to use building…

Note: a portion of my tab was covered by Number Thirty Eight, but all words and photos are mine. "Did you change things for COVID, or was all this [waves hands] serendipitous?" That was my first question to Number Thirty Eight CEO Spencer Fronk as…

I was a bit desperate for a getaway recently, and we found a lull in all the chaos of the world to head over to Moab, Utah, from Denver for a few days. It's about a six-hour drive, give or take traffic, and we mostly…

Are you ready for events? Not quite, right? Right about now, we would normally be getting our #WestwordFeast tickets and pre-planning our food and drink tastings. It's a little early to for completely back to normal but Westword has got us covered 'til then. How…

I don't know about you, but I have been spending a great deal of time to past year on Pinterest. It's my happy place and I always find fun ideas there ... ones that sometimes I've actually even had the time to try (seeing as…

As we look at the possibility of winter and beyond that will continue being socially distanced from friends, I've been compiling a list of date night ideas. But, you know what? These ideas for diversion as couple transcend our COVID-19 life and could apply anytime.…

AMZY have been long-time friends and also one of my favorite bands. Both live and recorded. I have photographed them both personally and professionally many times. Which is why I was so touched that they hired my 18yo son Dex – who is in college…

I love that one good thing to come out of 2020 is the rise of virtual events. Sure, I will always be up for an in-person show, but there is something to be said about tuning in to an intimate format while wearing your pajamas.…

As Denver locals know, we usually celebrate March 3rd as "303 Day" - which is the primary area code of Denver. It seems like just a minute ago that it was last 303 Day and we all definitely have not seen many concerts in the…

I don't know about you, but I have been spending a great deal of time to past year on Pinterest. It's my happy place and I always find fun ideas there ... ones that sometimes I've actually even had the time to try (seeing as…

I love finding new music and emerging artists! Especially ones as talented at Joy Downer, who - with her husband - recorded her debut album Paper Moon in their home studio. It's modern and vintage at the same time, something this child of the 70s…

I have always been the gal who drinks light beer, especially at concerts. It's simple and everyone has it. But since being in quarantine, I have branched out a bit - while still keeping it simple. The first drink below (basically an overload of coconut)…
