On July 16th, I attended Leechburg’s Pink Day‘s annual event, Notes for Hope Music and Food Truck Festival at the Hyde Park Heritage Pavilion. The event featured: Jerry B and the Bone Tones, Miss Freddye Stover and her Blues Band, Lenny Collini 4PaK, Marshall & the Deputies, Steel Mill Rising, Bill Toms & Hard Rain, and King Lou Hock and his Flying Circus. The food trucks in attendance were: Anything Rolls Egg Rolls, Cup and...
Shattered, a band that has played many Rock for Life Concert Series shows over the years, asked us to take photos of them at this year’s Gigaroo! What this did for me was put me in my favorite venue to shoot with one of my all time favorite bands that I’ve seen on that stage. I took over 347 shots of them on this day! This is just a small portion of what I ended...
J Roger Davis‘ new band, BLK Forest Ham, invited me out to their first gig together. This brought me to another new to me venue, Paradise Park in Cowansville, PA. BLK Forest Ham were playing at the Fostering Music Summer Shindig a stop on the Rock Done Right Tour by 97.7FM. The venue itself is situated about 10 miles outside of Kittaning, PA on a sizeable, beautiful property. The stage is part of a huge...
I was put on assignment today by our leader, Jana. I believe it went like this, “Since you’re already going to be there, do you think you could take a few shots of Amanda fronting Silence Follows?” Assignment accepted.
I made a return trip to Squirrel Hill Sports Bar for another round of bands and photos. A mere 3 months ago, I had this to say about the venue, “There are a few more things needed to complete the transformation, but all-in-all the new stage at the Squirrel Hill Sports Bar will be a great addition to the music scene!” I walked into the venue and was immediately impressed. Barry and company had added...
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...
