I have photographed Joe a couple times, if you have never seen him live you should. He is one of the most amazing guitarists I have ever seen. Amazing live performer to say the least!

I have to admit I have been slacking in my concert photography lately. Time to get back into the mix again, I am excited that my first show of 2015 will include the two hottest women in heavy metal! The Butcher Babies are one bad ass, in your face, take no prisoners band with insane energy! The type of show I LOVE to shoot! Plus they are HOT!!!

Check out this interview I did with Heidi Shepherd, Carla Harvey and Henry Flury of the Butcher Babies.

I just did the iTunes pre order of the new Blackberry Smoke album out next month but then I found this little gem! Some Blackberry Smoke on Vinyl would be pretty bad a$$, going to have to add this one to my collection of "Smoke"!

Anyone have any "must checkout" bands for me to to throw on my iTunes? I love rock, blues, old school style country but really anything that is thought provoking I will listen to. I have been jamming a ton of Blackberry Smoke as well as old school Pink Floyd over the holidays.
