My friend Zack Rosicka first told me about David Ryan Harris. Well, I didn't think much of his boasting until I walked into this performance and I was totaly awe struck. David Ryan Harris is captures his entire audience both nights I see him. Everyone was fully set on...
Several years ago I was commissioned to videograph a country band in Cherryville, NC performing for a contest. That's when I met Lanndon Lingerfelt, she was 12 but that didn't hold her back vocally or with her stage presence at all! Immediately impressed by the whole...
Randall Bramblett grows on you. And, if there's one thing I've learned about great music is the best grows on you and sticks with you for life. Randall Bramblett's songwriting brings you on journeys mixed with a dirty bluesy resonating voice backed by piano or...
My friend Nathan McKee first introduced me to Corey Smith about a year before I accidentally ran into his show in Florida. I was there to film the 30A Singer Songwriter Festival and he was on the roster. So, I had to capture this! Enjoy the show;)
Shane Cooley has fast become one of my favorite singer songwriters. Chiefly because of his productivity and how far he tours out. I really look forward to watching this kid grow. I met Cooley in January 2012 at the 30A Singer Songwriter Festival in Florida. Since then...
Derek McCoy is "the" first musician that I started to work with. He basically flipped the switch in me that makes me want to do all I do with/for music. I met Derek when he was about 16 years old playing in a basement for a local called "Resolution" in Shelby, NC. The...
Reed Waddle is another one of my favorite singer, songwriter, musician, performers! Now that's a mouthful to be and when you check out some of his songs you'll hear why. Reed Waddle is another one that Zack Rosicka knew to turn me onto. Thanks again Zack! Reed Waddle...
I met the Jauntee when they were in Asheville playing at "Jack of the Wood". I wasn't prepared for what I was about to hear, prepared to capture it unfortunately at least. They jammed and jammed and everyone was into it. The musicians I was with were really digging...
In the late 90's I was living in Gastonia, NC. I worked in Human Services then and in the evennings I would invariably be working on the something media like or related to music. My friend Matt Stowe turned me onto a vision he had in Downtown Gastonia. He and...
Zack Rosicka turned me onto Forrest Williams, a local to his area in Florida. Their show was a real treat. A full band, great harmonies and stage presence. All that coupled with a great sound and I knew for sure I was on vacation!
Josh Black was about 16 or so when I first met him. He was performing with what would later be 30 Aut Sixx, a Country band based in Cherryville, North Carolina. I was hired to do video their band playing for a school talent show. At the time I had no interest in...
Tequilas Mexican Grill, my favorite place to eat! Not "just" because Francisco Montes is one of the coolest people I know in the world, no, that may make his place more inviting than virtually any other restaurant. It's because the reason you're there, the food is...
