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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

I spent Monday and Tuesday nights at Destroyer shows. They were great. Those of you who follow my blog know that I have made a habit of creating reportage drawings at live music events and have covered Destroyer on more than one occasion. Here are some past shows, here and here. If you haven’t given […]
