Last month I visited New Orleans and had a chance to spend two nights on Frenchman Street in the world famous French Quarter. Frenchman Street is famous for its eclectic mix of live music happening nightly, late into the night. Perfect for me to put the kids to bed and get out to experience the […]
No, not his real name, as he told me with a smile. He’s a fantastic jazz organist that I happened upon on my last night in Kansas City last month. I took the show in from the front row and just enjoyed drawing. It had been a while since I had such a good seat, […]
[sgmb id=”1″]As some of you know my drawings appear on Crooked Fingers’s release Breaks in the Armor as well as the acoustic version of the same album. Crooked Fingers aka Eric Bachmann has been one of my favorite artists for years (since I was in high school!) and last night I was happy to attend a special performance […]
[sgmb id=”1″]Last year I attended a Bob Dylan concert at the Beacon Theatre in New York. I made a few drawings, and David Gaines, the author of a new book on Bob Dylan, saw one of the drawings which I had posted on One Drawing A Day and asked if he could use it for […]
Of all the shows I’ve been to (and drawn), this was my first outside of the US. The Wedding Present has been one of my favorite bands since high school and Cinerama is another band I’ve grown up with, so you can imagine how happy I was when I learned they would be performing in […]
I went to see the band Wye Oak a few nights ago at Webster Hall in New York City. I’ve been a fan for a while, but this was the first time I’ve seen them live. As just a 2 piece they really fill the space with sound and take over the room in their […]
It’s been a few months since I did a reportage at a concert so it felt great to get out and draw. Neutral Milk Hotel is a special band. I’ve been a fan since the 90s and,without getting into detail, they haven’t toured since. Last year they announced a world tour, which almost completely sold […]
One of my very favorite bands the Jazz Butcher aka the Jazz Butcher Conspiracy played at the Ludlow Street venue The Cake Shop and I was one of the few devotees in attendance…but all the better. For an all-but-unknown band they are incredible song writers and the music perfectly matches the writing…have a listen and […]
I was privileged to be asked to photograph The Monochrome Set on their recent tour of the US. Having not played in the States for over 30 years, I was truly intrigued by what I would see, and I was blown away by their performances. During the shoot I was able to put the camera down […]
I attended the 25th anniversary concert celebrating Dinosaur Jr‘s 1987 classic album You’re Living All Over Me. It was actually released today, December 14, 1987! For a fan it was an unbelievable experience to hear the album played in its entirety, as well as many other classics from their catalog. Even better were the many […]
