Further proof that my friend Dustin is right I am late to the party. Here I am posting my photo of the week on a Thursday evening. Ed Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero at Red Rocks-

Happy Thursday! Tomorrow is UMPHriday!

Hello all,

It is a gorgeous Thursday afternoon here along the front range. Tomorrow night Umphrey's tears up Red Rocks. Should be a phabulous evening!


Here is a shot of the lovely and talented Brittnay Howard and bassist Zac Cockrell of the Alabama Shakes. The band co headlined the best venue in the world this past Sunday with Ed Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes.

What a freakin weekend! Huge shows by some of my favorites. Dumpstaphunk led things off for me at the Lyons Outdoor Games. It was a free show, and worth all that and a whole lot more. Ivan and crew crushed the gorgeous evening, and got me all fired up for Saturday night's appointment with the London Souls and Lettuce. I have been diggin on the London Souls for years now, but haven't had the chance to catch a show till this past weekend. Very seldom do I find out about a band I love and not see them for years. It was worth the wait. Kraz sat in with the band the whole set, and it was nothing short of spectacular.




If I had to pick a favorite band it would be beyond difficult. I could tell you this it would be between The Motet and Lettuce. Fortunately I get to see lots of The Motet, so when Lettuce comes around it is the blockbuster hit for me. These guys really have more chops than any other musical collective. There is not a weak spot in the band. The "Let us play" crew blew the roof off of Cervante's (not surprised reports say they ripped the roof off Friday night as well).



Nigel Hall came out and whipped things into a frenzy with some amazing vocals.

This past weekend I saw some of the best Everyone Orchestra I have seen. It was true improv fun, and all the players were top notch. Some real front range class acts. Dave Watts, Jans Ingber, Kai Echkart, Bill McKay, Tanya Shylock, Bill Nershi, Anders Beck and Tom Carbone. And of course the creator behind the Everyone Orchestra and conductor, Matt Butler. They all brought A+ game, and it was a real treat-

Somethin' old and somethin' new-

Here is somethin' old from Bonnaroo 2010; David Rawlings Machine-



And here is somethin' new from this weekend at the Ogden Theater in Denver; The Metermen-

Let's call it a May post

If you own a camera and aim to capture moments in time, you know how elusive they can be. I have shot Galactic off and on for over 12 years, and have seen Ben throw back his head and wail on his sax as many times as I have seen Stanton explode out of his seat to assault his drum kit. However I have never once been in the right spot to capture the 2 working it in the same frame. Jamcruise 11 finally delivered. My favorite Galactic shot, hope you like it too!

Whenever I feel up to it post

Hey cool kids, Spring time is nice! Snow has been falling like crazy in CO, there are great shows happening all over the map. I have been on the road non stop lately learning a new profession, and ocasionally visiting this one I started a long time ago. I haven't shot much lately. I am siting in the Columbus, OH airport, and some how the only images I have on the hard drive I have out is Bonnaroo 2012. So here is a few shots from one of my favorite festivals, and easily one of the smoothest year of its fabled history for me. This here is War on Drugs, The Punch Brothers and The Word-

I have been working hard in Idaho for the last week. This past weekend we blew off some steam with a great day on the mountain riding snowboards, and a real phun bike ride w/ Dakota dog leading the charge. Here is Kota and Dave blazing the trail.

The road goes on forever. Ketchum, Idaho-

Throwback Thursday

How's this for mixed company? 4 Mile Fire Benefit in Broomfield, CO at the 1st Bank Center. What a wonderful night of music for such a great cause. Not to mention it was the intro night to a tasty Phish run-
