I can't even BEGIN to describe what shooting this show meant to me. Before Brandi, I was an Ani FREAK. Lets see, it was my early 20's, and Ani was my first musical crush. I learned every song on guitar (yep, even the ones with crazy tunings), and followed her all around the west coast, catching 7 shows at a time. It was literally the best years of my life, and completely worth … [Read more...] about 4/16/11 Ani Difranco

3/27/11 Uh Huh Her
It took a few years, but Seattle FINALLY got this band to play here in a club :) Let's see, was it TWICE that a show got cancelled here? They were here at bumbershoot last year, but.... that didn't count for me. I LOVE THIS BAND, and wanted to see them in a club with real fans, and playing a real set, and having a better sound mix than what bumbershoot provided for them. So … [Read more...] about 3/27/11 Uh Huh Her
3/11/11 Kaki King
Kaki King is a incredible guitarist, and I've been meaning to see her for years. Being that I don't spend a lot of time on YouTube, I wasn't sure what to expect. Her last albums have been filled with more vocal songs than usual (vs instrumental), so I was expecting her to come out and rock us with a band. Umm, nope. Instead it was just her and about 8 guitars on the … [Read more...] about 3/11/11 Kaki King
2/12/11 Nicole Atkins
[singlepic id=632 w=250 float=right] I've been waiting to see Nicole for YEARS, simply because once upon a time I was OBSESSED with her "Neptune City" song. I really had no idea what to expect. In the past I youtubed some of her live stuff, and wasn't too impressed. Well I must have watched the wrong stuff, cuz this girl is GREAT!! Not only was the band rockin, but she's got a … [Read more...] about 2/12/11 Nicole Atkins

1/27/11 Grace Potter and the Nocturnals (The Crocodile)
[singlepic id=606 w=250 h=166 float=right] I have seen Grace once before, as an opening act a few years ago. It was quickly obvious that this energetic band was meant to be seen in a packed room full of hardcore fans. I FINALLY got my chance to see them in such a setting, and got a last minute photo pass as well. This was one tight, visualy interesting, fun band! They are a … [Read more...] about 1/27/11 Grace Potter and the Nocturnals (The Crocodile)
Brandi Carlile – 12/31/10 NYE
I honestly can't think of anything I would rather be doing on New Years Eve, than shooting Brandi Carlile! Actually that applies for almost any occasion, thats how addicted I am :) The show was full of song surprises, like the drummers (Alli) 2 min solo to start the show, 2 new songs (they recently recorded 8 new songs and plan to put out a new album this year), "The Story" … [Read more...] about Brandi Carlile – 12/31/10 NYE
11/20/10 “The Story” Man and his band
If you couldn't tell, this is a post about Brandis secret show at Neumos... and I can't remember the last time I had so much FUN at a show! Seeing Brandi at these small intimate shows is sooooo special to me. Seeing Brandi at small Seattle clubs is where I came from! I started seeing her in 2003. Back then "Turpentine" was more of a rock anthem, where you held your beer in … [Read more...] about 11/20/10 “The Story” Man and his band
11/19/10 Brandi Carlile w/ the Seattle Symphony
The first of 2 sold out nights with the seattle symphony Unlike a few years ago, when Brandi only played about 5 songs with the symphony, this year she did 14! Not only that, but they were the opening act as well, and 5 songs just as a band :) SET LIST: (opening set without orchestra) What Can I Say, Closer to You, Have You Ever, Dying Day, Crazy … [Read more...] about 11/19/10 Brandi Carlile w/ the Seattle Symphony
10/12/10 Liz Phair
My body is still recovering from all the fun last night. Lizs' fans are such a loyal pack, and we had ourselves a little party in the front row last night. Click here to see pics from the show.
