Today is International Women's Day so let's celebrate the women in rock and metal who refuse to shrink themselves!

Artists like Tatiana Shmayluk of the band Jinjer, Amy Lee from Evanescence, Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless, Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox, Maria Brink of In This Moment, Lizzy Hale from Halestorm, Dorothy Martin of Dorothy, Jyl & Jules Wylde from The Pretty Wild, and the Villarreal sisters of The Warning — women who have carved out space in heavy music and helped prove the stage belongs to us too.

But there are a lot of women out there right now who deserve some attention too.

If they’re not on your radar yet, fix that:
Chaney Crabb of ENTHEOS
Lauren Babic of Red Handed Denial
Savannah McCarthy of Vana
Sarah Grace McLaughlin of Bishop Briggs

These women don’t ask for permission.
They kick the door open.

And when these women take the stage, it reminds and inspires the rest of us that we can ... and should ... take up space.

The world needs more loud women.

Shout out to Women Who Rock an organization doing great work supporting women in music.

Some shows are loud. Some shows make you lean in.

Tonight was the second kind.

Local singer-songwriter Noelle Voglewede opened the night with a beautiful, wandering folk blues set that immediately pulled the room in. The kind of songs that feel like stories being told rather than performed.

Libby DeCamp followed with a voice that feels like it’s been living inside old blues records for decades ... raw, soulful, and completely unfiltered. It was one of those performances where the whole room goes quiet because nobody wants to miss a note.

Grateful to work in rooms that care about the music.

A few sneak peeks from the night. More coming soon.

Glitter. Sweat. Power.

Drag isn’t just performance ... it’s precision, stamina, and absolute command of the stage.

And Saturday night delivered on every level.

When a room moves this fast, your photographer has to move faster. The lighting shifts. The energy spikes. The crowd reacts. You either keep up ... or you miss it.

I’m grateful to be trusted to capture moments that bold, that loud, and that unapologetic.

If you’re hosting something electric, unforgettable, or just a little chaotic in the best way… I’m ready.

If you've been around the local scene, you know Salivus doesn't do subtle.

Saturday at North End Pub was no exception.

The room was packed and Salivus delivered. Every time I shoot them I swear the energy escalates.

Faster. Louder. Heavier

When bands trust me to capture their chaos, I take that seriously. Thrash isn't meant to look polished ... it's meant to feel real.
