Frank Turner in Denver & More Adventures in Medical Emergencies

Note: Concert tickets were provided by Frank Turner; all photos and words are mine. My experience at the Frank Turner show was different than any other. Since my friend Erica has written about it, I am free to tell you we had some, well, "issues" while the music rolled on. (I am also free to tell you, on a completely separate note, that her little one just had a bout in the hospital, so give her some love if you can.)

Riot Fest Denver 2013 -Day 2 Photos

The second day of Riot Fest at May Farms was quite an adventure. The wind kicked up, so the whole crowd (including me and Monika) looked like extras from a Clash video. Later in the day, a gigantic thunderstorm opened up over our heads and…

Best Songs of 2013

Note: This post is not sponsored or linked to sales sites in any way.  All year long, I have been adding to my favorite songs of 2013 playlist, and it ended up being triple the size of last year's list - over 160 songs total. I love indie and alternative the most, but pop, rock, R&B, soul, funk - you name it - everything is represented. What a great year for music, with a nice Christmas surprise from Beyoncé. (Seriously - watch the videos. They are masterpieces.) I have had a tremendous time photographing bands, and listening to new tunes. Who says the music industry is dead? It is just getting started.

Riot Fest Denver 2013 – Day 1 Photos

Note: Riot Fest provided tickets for the event but all words and photos are mine. There was a really fun weekend in September where I was able to take my 11 year old son (who just turned 11 that week) to see some of the most amazing bands of my lifetime. Riot Fest was held way east of Denver in a field at May Farms, and all that open sky actually gave me a feeling of agoraphobia. It also gave us a great view of the three massive stages where bands Blink 182, AWOLNation, Public Enemy, Iggy & The Stooges and The Replacements played their faces off for two days.

Flobots Concert Photos

Another great band from Denver, of course, are the Flobots. If you aren't sure who I mean right away, you know the song "Handlebars" (and its very cool video), although my personal favorite is "White Flag Warrior."I am lucky enough to call these guys friends,…

Note: The Uproar Festival provided me tickets to this show, but all words (other than the band's) and photos are mine.Earlier this fall, I was able to attend the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival, a big festival held at Fiddler's Green Ampitheatre, a venue I…

Fitz & The Tantrums – Denver – Gothic Theatre

Life is funny. You say you want to photograph concerts; life makes it happen. Then life gets in the way, and when do you find the time to edit those photographs? Apparently late at night while you are not sleeping. I sincerely apologize to the…
