Milktooth - Fight With Fire {Part II}

Just like in the past, I usually take photos of all the bands that participate in the Fight With Fire Concert. This past time, however, I was only able to get photos of one band, Milktooth. Not only do they have great music, they are all great guys. Go to their web page and listen to their music. At concerts I usually don't buy merchandise but this was the exception. I felt compelled to support them and their music, plus they were selling their music on vinyl. That was the dagger, I absolutely love listening to music on my record player.

Fight With Fire {Part I}

Last Friday night was our first Fight With Fire event. The bill was packed with great rock bands and there was a great turn out. All the proceeds went to the local United Way to help with the Nashville flood relief, yes there is still help needed. These two photos are just a small taste of where we were. The graffiti wall was an awesome backdrop, better than anything I could have found at any store.

Scenic Heights Part 2

When I was first talking with the band I had a idea for a group shot and that ended up being the basis for the shoot. This is really the first time I have ever done anything like this and i am super happy with the result. My idea was for the band to be on a hill at night with a city under fog below and stars in the the sky. After about three days in Photoshop and a lot of trial and error, I feel like I have made my vision a reality.

Scenic Heights

Right now I'm finishing up photos for the band Scenic Heights. They drove from Alabama to spend the day with me and Stoney for their first band photo shoot. We had a full and fun day of photography. We started the day in my kitchen and ended with a beautiful view of nashville during sunset. I ended up doing another series of Black & White photos and they turned out amazing, they always seem to. I know I have said this in the past, but I think they will be a consistent style of photos I take. I have more photos and will post them when they are finished.

Light One Up For Kenya (part 2)

Just finished all the photography for the Light One Up event. I photographed Heypenny and Kink Ador. After meeting the two bands, I am looking forward to the concert. I also am falling in love with this photo set up. I did it the other day on another shoot and loved the photos, they will be up soon. Anyways, check out www.lightoneup.org for all the info about the concert.

The Grayces

Not to long ago I meet The Grayces at the Light One Up for Kenya show. Not only do they play great music, they are great people. They just recently had a record release show at The End. When I say record, I mean vinyl. I know you might be thinking that no one listens to records anymore, but they are actually growing in popularity. Personally, I own a record player and prefer it to any other music medium. There is something about the rawness of the record that really draws me in. Anyways, The Grayces played a show for the release of their record and I took some photos.

Light One Up For Kenya

www.lightoneup.org

Light One Up is a concert series created by a good friend of mine, Josh Jackson. This is the way Josh describes it, "Light One Up For Kenya: The Indie-Rock High Socity Ball is a unique event combining Nashville's most original music acts, fine cigars, fancy shmancy dress and all other sorts of tomfoolery all to raise awareness and funds to aid the drought crisis in Kenya."

I am working on a serires of photosgraphs for the web site of all the artists involved. Here are the first couple. Her name is Natalie Prass.
