Strangefolk and Percy Hill played great sets at the Stateside Amphitheater, putting off somewhat inclement weather in favor of inspired songs and smashing guitars. Great weekend of old friends, music, and laughs.

Whiskey Wednesday w/ Waud - Half Lounge, Burlington, VT
Photo shoot for the new owners of the Half Lounge on Church St for the first installation of "Whiskey Wednesday w/ Waud." Bourbon specials at the bar, great company & tunes for a mid-week night out. Hoping to do more of this and help local artists and businesses.
Dead & Company - Times Union Center, Albany, NY
Being able to photograph and review the first-ever show from Dead & Company was a real treat. John Mayer and Bob Weir matched up very well and the whole band showed lots of promise for what should be an exciting tour with plenty of classic Dead magic.

Strangefolk - Stateside Amphitheater, Jay, VT
Strangefolk brought a fun reunion-style crowd out to Jay Peak for a wet night under the pavilion. Playing plenty of their old songs from early days at UVM, they suggested reviving Garden of Eden here. More on Glide Magazine here:
Pink Talking Fish - Lake Champlain Ferry, Burlington, VT
A week after Fare Thee Well, and already seeking more music. The weather was perfect for a summer cruise on Lake Champlain with covers being served by Pink Talking Fish. Fun shooting on the ferry.
Panic at the Peak - Stateside Amphitheater, Jay, VT
Widespread Panic also spent ten years without playing in Vermont. They brought Umphrey's McGee about as far north as you can go without being in Canada, playing to a huge crowd on the slopes of Jay Peak. Hopefully this becomes a venue with a strong draw for other touring bands. Please read my full review of the event here:
The String Cheese Incident - Memorial Auditorium, Burlington, VT
I photographed and reviewed the String Cheese Incident for Glide Magazine last year. I got some great shots of the Colorado band on their first visit to Vermont is ten years. Please read my review here:
Grand Point North Festival - Waterfront Park, Burlington, VT
Was lucky enough to be a part of Grace Potter's hometown festival on Vermont's shore of Lake Champlain. Burlington's Waterfront Park hosted Grand Point North with a stellar lineup of artists: The War On Drugs, Lake Street Dive, Dr. John, Trampled By Turtles, and more played ahead of Grace Potter's Nocturnals.
Woodchuck "Ciderbration" Festival - Woodchuck Cider, Middlebury, VT
Proud to show off their newly constructed cidery, Woodchuck Cider decided to throw a party with Dirty Headz, Dr. Dog, and fireworks. I was lucky enough to tag along with Allston Pudding for the shutters in Middlebury, VT.
Boston Calling Music Festival - City Hall Plaza, Boston, MA
The inaugural Boston Calling Music Festival was a very successful attempt to bring the urban festival attraction into New England. Band Fun., The National, Matt & Kim, The Shins, Marina & The Diamonds, and others graced the brick courtyard over 2 days during Memorial Day Weekend.
