dawes + shovels & rope @ cat’s cradle
Dawes is one of those bands where I have tried for years to grasp the deep, fierce love with which fans of the band approach Taylor Goldsmith’s music, and after three or four shows, I remain perplexed. I enjoy Dawes, but there’s nothing in their songs that snags my heart and flips it over. What…
the national @ red hat amphitheater
I wrote about the show for Speakers In Code, which is the only — ONLY! — place you can also see my photos. I have never seen so many photographers react so quickly to change lenses in the pit as I did — zooms to fixed 50mm and 35mm — when Matt carried his mic out…

Mr. Simpson created some amazing found materials whirl-i-gigs, which he installed in sort of a farm near his home close to Wilson, NC. A few years ago, shep. and I took a spur-of-the-moment Sunday drive down there, and Mr. Simpson…
fall out boy @ 9:30 club ; save rock and roll club tour
I wrote about what Fall Out Boy means to me, and what it meant to me to shoot them on Friday night, for Speakers In Code. Some other things: They played everything I could have hoped to hear, except the acoustic version of “Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner” from the My Heart EP, which…
