Earlier this summer, I had the chance to cover photography for The Still Waiting Band. This group of passionate musicians describe themsleves as "a bunch of creative types who like to get together and play music. Covering blues, soul, and rock from the 70s up."

The Great Grizzly Bear, where they played, made for a picturesque venue. The beautiful, sunny day paired with the band members' expressive music made for a dynamic photoshoot with as much movement as the tunes they played.
