Mumford & Sons – Music Hall of Williamsburg
I had the pleasure of seeing Mumford & Sons in Williamsburg today. Haven’t seen them play since I was in Seattle last October. Please check out their music and their debut album which will hit the States soon.
A little video from their myspace page:

Phoenix & Passion Pit
My computer battery is about to die and I’m a couple miles above middle America (first in-flight blog post?) so I just want to get these images published. Great show last night– Phoenix & Passion Pit in Central Park. Passion Pit was great, but Phoenix was INCREDIBLE. Such a good show.
Enjoy these [...]
The Vacaville Sessions.
Nothing to post of my stuff today. But a real treat instead…
While on the bus to the odd Tiki Bar we went to in Staten Island, all 7 of us took a turn on my iPhone to have a listen to the song you’re about to lay ears on. A song sent to us from [...]
Top 50 of 1,993. Now I need your help.
Well for those of you who didn’t know this, I applied for a job in Sonoma county at a winery called Murphy-Goode. The job description is simple:
“We want to hire a social media whiz (your title will be “Murphy-Goode Wine [...]
A great little stop motion short…
I found this incredible stop-motion video by Tomas Mankovsky on (ehem…) Kanye West’s blog. It’s an incredible find… and to be honest, I really like Kanye’s blog. Can’t really vouch for it because I haven’t spent that much time on it, but he has some good stuff on there.

Fauxchella, part I.
So this last 6 weeks has been a crazy time for me. A time of funerals and moving and couch-hopping and jet setting and bank accounts emptying and nerve-racking meetings. And the days ahead are filled with tons of shoots and grant applications and phone/in-person meetings. Its not slowing down.
So sorry for [...]
Showmans. Harlem.
Showmans, a wonderful historic Blues Club in Harlem, was the choice for Friday night out with Jon and Matt. Good choice. Check it out:
Sleepytime in the Western World. Blitzen Trapper.
Blitzen Trapper played a great show at the Bowery Ballroom last night. Check it out (by the way, thanks Tina for helping with the press situation .
Beirut. Brooklyn, New York.
Tonight I fumbled my way through a crowd of bouncing Brooklyn hipsters and music geeks to see what turned out to be an excellent show. I was in there on a press pass, so I was somewhat confused by the following interaction:
Zach Condon says some nonsensical tuning-in-between-songs band banter.
Tall, sinister man standing next to me: [...]
Bleeding Bells… Delta Spirit in London, England.
Just when I needed a break from my California home-sickness, I get a taste of good old Long Beach. I saw that Delta Spirit (here & here) was playing in Londontown. It was honestly the best show I’ve seen over theirs, and I think their first in the UK.
Medi & the Medcine Show. London, England.
I returned to London for a brief hiatus from my trip to the coun’ry for a meeting today. I’m heading back to Cornwall tomorrow for one more week of relaxation before I’m back to New York City. Tonight I went to a show near King’s Cross. Hadn’t ever heard them before, but [...]
Blues Club. London, England.
Scott, Ben, Finn and I went to a crowded-but-authentic Blues Club the other night. It was the weekly open mic night where they piece together bands from the sign-up list, throw them on stage, and let them roll with it. There were some incredibly talented musicians there. I wish I could post [...]
Welcome Wagon, New York, NY
There’s always something great going on in New York. It can become a daunting task to try and manage your time here. But it’s a good problem to have, I think– too much good stuff to do.
Today, after breakfast with Ira, we headed over to Gagosian Gallery on 21st in Chelsea and checked [...]
Ben Kweller
Great show last night in Seattle at the Chop Suey. Ben Kweller. Too tired to write more then this.
Johnny Flynn+Laura Marling+Mumford & Sons, Seattle, WA
I was blown away last night by Johnny Flynn, Laura Marling, and Mumford & Sons at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle last night. I went there to photograph the show and was absolutely floored by all 3 performances. I’ve already been a big fan of Johnny’s but Laura and M & Sons are [...]
Delta Spirit
I had more photos, and this video to post. Unfortunately my external harddrive is non-functioning at the moment and so this video will have to do. Here’s where the other pictures were.
Dr. Dog & Delta Spirit, Portland, OR
I had such a great time photographing the Dr. Dog and Delta Spirit show last night at the Doug Fir Lounge. Check out Dr. Dog and Delta Spirit’s tour schedule and go see them when they come play near you. They were amazing…

Brian Wilson, Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, CA
On Sunday night I made it back from Seattle just in time to head over to the Hollywood Bowl (seriously, Jon and I barely made it) to see Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys play with the LA Phil. It was a great show that concluded with a pretty incredible fireworks show. I couldn’t [...]
The New Limb
My good friends in The New Limb played at the Detroit Bar last night. It was a great show. Here’s some pics from the event. Love you Adam, Dan, Joey and Lauren!

Outside Lands and home for a bit.
I’m sorry for my prolonged absence from this blog. It’s been a whirlwind couple of days. After working with my cousins on their farm for a few days (and getting a little sick in the process) I booked a last minute ticket back to California. I decided I really need to “touch [...]
