Happy New Year

Post number 300 of 2016!

Dedicated to the Double Door Inn, and all of the friends and fellow travelers that we lost in 2016.

See you on the road again someday, and see you all in 2017.

Merry Christmas

What a year. What a crazy blur of a year. Twenty years into my accidental photography career, I am working more than I ever have. At one point, I had three exhibitions going in Charlotte at the same time. I won Creative Loafing’s best photographer award for the second straight year. I did tour book photos for the Beach Boys (thank you David Beard), photographed the Monkees’ LA show with Michael Nesmith (thank you Andrew Sandoval) and three other shows on their tour, had photos in a new Chad & Jeremy boxset (thank you Jason Rhoden), had photos in a Bear Family Records boxset, and worked with a number of great people. 

One of the few things I didn’t get to this year was writing Christmas cards, so to all of my relatives, friends and all of you out there, please consider this my Christmas card to all of you. Thank you for being a part of this year, and here’s to many great things to come in the future. Merry Christmas, wherever you are, from the kid behind the camera. See you again soon, and see you on the road.

Thank You To All For Last Night's Show

Thank you to everyone that made last night's Loudermilks/Houston Brothers show at the Double Door Inn the rousing success that it was. It's hard to believe that it was my last night of organizing and promoting shows at this amazing place, but this was the way that I wanted to wrap it up. Thank you, many times over, from the tall guy behind the camera. You can see photos from last night here-

December 14th! One More Time! My Last Double Door Inn Promotion!

Sunday was so much fun, I'm promoting one more Double Door Inn show! Tomorrow night! December 14th! The Loudermilks, and the Houston Brothers. Featuring Alan Edwards, Chad R Edwards, Shawn Lynch, Jason Atkins, Justin Faircloth, Matthew Faircloth, Mike Kenerley, all of whom I first met by seeing them at the Double Door around 20 years ago. These are some of the people that made me want to document the Charlotte music scene, and it seems right to bring them all back home, One More Time. Doors at 8pm, show at 9pm. The world is crazy. Life is all too short. Rejoice, embrace your friends and loved ones, and gather together. Here's to friends and joy. See you there.
