album rec: the givers and the takers ep
This seems like a good time to tell you that Browan Lollar once saw me in my pajamas, with bedhead, in an elevator, in a hotel in Charlottesville, Virginia. He probably doesn’t remember it, but it’s a true story. Also a true story: after many years as Jason Isbell’s very talented guitarist, Browan has released…
i wandered out in the world for years
i saw the crescent, but you saw the whole of the moon
and i will sing my tune until my voice is gone
I had about a million hours of podcasts to listen to at work today, and the last one that I listened to before I left the office for the day was a special broadcast from the Third Coast International Audio Festival, via their Re:Sound podcast — an hour long talk from Radiolab’s Jad Abumrad, and…
dr dog @ haw river ballroom
Dr. Dog absolutely destroyed it last night at Haw River; they’re such a tight band, the harmonies that make their music stand out are even better live, and they just flat out rock. There was a full house, and the crowd was absolutely rocking with them. A ton of fun, and such a pleasure to…

I ate a quesadilla and warmed my hands over a bonfire and…

grant hart @ slim’s
It is always a pleasure and a privilege to shoot Grant Hart, and see him play; he’s a genius songwriter, he’s one of the weirdest and most interesting people I’ve ever met, and as a photographer, he has one of those gorgeous, odd, sharp-angled faces that are fascinating, endlessly, to shoot. It was a lovely…
heartless bastards @ haw river ballroom
Erika Wennerstrom is a badass. The wall of guitar and bass that Heartless Bastards produce is enough to rattle your fillings in the best possible way. Haw River Ballroom is one of my favorite places to shoot in the Triangle, if not my favorite, because the lights are so perfect and dramatic. Futurebirds are more…
