A night of music, lights and a hell of a good time! Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats stopped at the Roxian Theater in Pittsburgh, PA, along with King Buffalo! A night to remember and our own Amanda Baker was on the scene to grab these amazing shots! Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats King Buffalo
I made my first trip to Brandy’s Basement to check out Sahayra and Brad Abbott. Between both acts it was a nice mix of 70’s, 80’s, & 90’s covers. Both acts also mixed in their originals. I found myself singing along and clicking away on the shutter button. Brandy’s offers great sound, lights, and atmosphere to scene! I would love to shoot some more bands there given the chance. I didn’t have a chance to...
I made my way to yet another new venue for my travels tonight. I was invited out by Crash Army to take some more photos at Black Forge II. The venue is definitely one that I’d like to visit again with my camera. I loved the staging and lighting rig, the sound was tight, and the crowd was full! I also grabbed some photos of the band Trainwrecked, if you’re into high energy metal, give...
The newly finished Squirrel Hill Sports Bar‘s Stage debuts with a lineup of The Molecule Party, Neostem, and Parable – A Celebration of Tool. I do not know the whole story, but I’m going to do my best. I believe that the storefront next to the bar became available and used to be a theater. Barry took that room and turned it into a nice little venue for our local scene. It comes with its...
Whitney Peyton made her return to The Vortex in Akron, Ohio this past Friday.

Artists on the bill for the night were Mettal Maffia, HB the Grizzly, Bella J, Casey Xans, Bolic, The Knightheart, Ducky, Big Toke, and Uncle TJ. Let me tell you everyone was excited for this...
On Saturday, I ventured out to another new to me venue. This time it was the Halftime Lounge where I would be taking photos of heavy metal/hard rock band, False Positive, for their CD Release party featuring special guests, Neostem, and Crash Army. Taste of the Truth by False Positive
Another photoshoot, another new to me venue. This time, I was checking Facebook after work when I saw a request to cover a show the same night because a photographer had to drop off at the last minute. I saw that the show was happening at Steamworks Creative, a venue that I had on my bucket list. So I looked at the time and had about 2 hours until show time, Next, I checked the...
This past Friday, I found myself witnessing a new band at a venue that I never expected to be photographing at. The band is rock/grunge band, Crash Army. The venue that I didn’t expect to find myself at was Tour-Ed Mine, masquerading as The Haunted Mine. After a little bit of a rocky pre-show setup, Crash Army put on a “spirited” show featuring both covers and originals to a small crowd that got bigger as...
I ventured into a new to me venue again last evening. This time I entered the Radioactive Events Center, LLC in Kittanning, PA to see 4 bands that I’ve never seen before. Tomorrow, When kicked things off with this one man attack of the stage. Surprising me when he pulled out a trumpet to play along to his backing tracks! Up next was another band that I heard for the first time and hopefully not...
