Blue October are currently on tour supporting their latest album, Any Man In America. The photos were taken at my favorite concert venue, The Pageant, on October 1st, 2011. This was my first time getting a chance to photograph them and I must say that the lighting was pretty good. Also, the front of the stage was clear, which made things pretty easy to shoot. Another plus was there were no security guards or other photographers behind the barricade with me, so I had the place to myself. All in all this was a fun show to shoot.

Greek Fire – Joplin, MO Benefit Show
There is nothing like a Greek Fire show, the energy is second to none. Every show is never the same as the last. I just love how the amount of fun these guys are having just radiates outward. This was a show with Evans Blue to raise money for the city of Joplin, MO, which is still recovering for the tornadoes that hit the town back in May. To donate, visit Rebuild Joplin.

This was a concert to announce The Point’s next Pointfest, which they will also be playing. There were 3 other local bands who opened for BROOKROYAL: Last Nights Vice, Fivefold, and Corvus. (Those pics will be up soon.)

Now that was an incredible show! The guys in Story of the Year really went all out to give the hometown fans one hell of a sold out show. This was my second time photographing one of their concerts and as before it was not an easy show to shoot. The lighting was okay at best, there were monitors and platforms lining the front of the stage and they were constantly on the move.

On January 14th I photographed Taprootat fubar for the second time. You can see the photos from the last concert here. There was a great turnout this time around, I’m sure it helped that the show took place on a Friday instead of a Sunday like the last show.
The band put on a great show like they always do. They played a mixture of songs from all 5 of their albums, including some “oldies” off their first album that they have not played in quite a while. After the show I met up with the guys and got them to sign some pictures that I took and had printed up from their show last May.
