Look at that! I'm on a roll!

The Fray stopped by Dallas at the end of January to promote their newest self titled sophomore album. Selling out the House of Blues and stopping by Kidd Kraddick, so needless to say my day was Fray filled. The guys were very nice, taking lots of time to meet the fans that came up to see them at the morning show. The performance that night was good. I thought lighting was going to be horrible at first when it was a wash of reds and then they had these awesome lamps onstage light up synchronized to the music, and that was really cool, especially while shooting. It was odd though not knowing so many of the songs they were performing. They were great songs though. Fantastic album. Go pick it up, it's in stores now.

Here are some of the shots from the day.

Rock Legends AC/DC stopped at the American Airlines Center last month. I was lucky enough to shoot them, didn't think we were going to send a shooter, so it was a pleasant surprise. The first number was incredibly smokey. Definitely a tough situation to shoot through. Other than that it was fantastic. Angus and Brian were rockin' it.




Lots more to come as always!

Ok so this will be it I think till I get back from out of town. I am almost caught up. Were in the year 2009.. that's always good. The first show I went to this year was Marc Broussard who I love to death. He was fantastic. I'd put it in the top 3 out of the handful of times i've seen him. His fans were dancing like I've never seen them dance before. Lighting was pretty good too. Yay House of Blues lighting guy.. yay! He's gotten much much better in the recent months.

Marcs openers were Josh Hoge and Sons of William. Who were both great as always. They even joined him on his most popular number "Home."

We also spotted Miranda Lambert's guitar player Scotty Wray at the show.

But hey on to the photos!


Sons of William & Josh Hoge


Ok enjoy! Still to come AC/DC and The Fray.

So Kidd had a bunch of musicians in for the final show of the year. It was in the "performance hall." Big Al dressed like an Elf and bands playing. Cant get better than that. Not to mention the Veronicas thought my "Commando Roll" was awesome.

Here are some shots from the show.



Ok I know that was like the most lame entry ever. And I neglected to put up Colbie & All American Rejects photos from December, but hey they are up on kiddlive. Ok I have some shots from shows in January I'm gonna try and get up.
