On October 24, 2025, Mammoth, formerly Mammoth WVH until a recent copyright change was granted, released their third album in four years. The solo project of Grammy nominated Wolfgang Van Halen is a fun mix of tongue in cheek lyrics, late 90’s inspired guitars, and gratitude for the opportunities available to the talented multi-instrumentalist.

Mudvayne is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their iconic debut album, L.D. 50, which was released in 2000. The tour, featuring opening performances by Vended and Static-X, recently made its 28th stop at The Wellmont Theater in Montclair, New Jersey last October 24, 2025. As a die-hard fan of Mudvayne, with one of my favorite bass players, Ryan Martinie, I don’t want to miss this show again, as I missed their performance in my city at Jones Beach Theater last year.

The weather is starting to change as I make my way up the stairs of the L subway stop at Jefferson Street in Brooklyn, New York.  I stroll around the corner to find fans lining up at the Sultan Room to catch the exciting return of Moving Mountains.  Tonight is a particularly special one, as it's Moving Mountains' first weekend of shows since performing together 8 years ago.  Brooklyn is the second stop of a three-night show run that began in Philadelphia and will conclude in 

Singer-songwriter, Dan Hubbard, from Bloomington, Illinois (folk-rock, southern-rock, pop, americana) released his 10th studio project Vol 1: Letting Go on October 24th, 2025.  This album, he says, has been a creative outlet, branching out from his normal sound.  He set out to not care so much about what anyone thinks (aside from his wife, Kaetlyn).  “I didn’t set out to write a concept album about ‘letting go’, but it just became obvious that’s what this EP is about,” Dan sh

On October 30, 2025 - Post-hardcore band; FieldHockey released the official music video for their recent single " Mazes " and the band actually had the video created in a maze. The video can be the perfect visual representation of someone having a very chaotic mind that is constantly looking for a way out, but it can also be interpreted as someone who doesn't want to take accountability for their actions and they are always looking for an easy way out. With the band being po

On October 31, 2025 - Hard-rock band from Orlando, FL; Kneel Before the King released their newest single " Nocturnal " ft Let Me Bleed that has the perfect blend of Bad Omens and Dayseeker that can easily capture the attention of a large fanbase due to the dynamics of the single. Between the lows and the high's that makes you feel like you are on a sonic journey of ethereal emotions. The single has an electronic infused sound that enhances the cleans that gives the song a

The sun is beginning to set as a crisp breeze moves over the streets of Manhattan.  I make my way to Delancey Street on the Lower East Side through the hustle and bustle of the evening crowd.  Nestled in between a sea of buildings, I found myself outside of the iconic Bowery Ballroom. A building that has become synonymous with the NYC music scene and one filled with a rich historical past.  Tonight the line stretches well beyond the entrance, making its way down and around th

What inspired the theme or concept behind this album?   As the curse goes, may you live in interesting times. I don’t think anyone is untouched by the state of the crazy world we currently live in. As an artist this record is my therapy.

Electric Callboy delivers an explosive new single "TANZNEID." This track fuses modern metalcore riffs, electronic hardstyle components, pop choruses, and a hint of punk, compelling listeners to hit both the dance floor and the mosh pit. "TANZNEID" is fun, energetic, and proves to us that Electric Callboy is leading the charge with their party core or dance core style.

Recently, pop punk artist Taylor Acorn, based in Nashville, TN released a new album titled, "Poster Child." To celebrate its release, fans and friends alike gathered at Cannery Hall in Nashville, TN for an electric performance from Acorn herself, along with opening band Wilt, an alternative rock group from Los Angeles, CA.

October 22: My day started early, with a strong cup of coffee and a quick check of the schedule for the night's concerts. I was excited to be photographing Sponge, Local H, and Everclear at Irving Plaza, and I wanted to make sure I was prepared for the energy and action on stage. As I headed out the door, I grabbed my camera gear and did a quick mental run-through of the shots I wanted to get, from the opening chords to the final encore.

The weather wasn’t the only thing giving us the chills on October 26, 2025.  Lera Lynn came through Indianapolis, Indiana on her Ruin Me tour to give us all the goosebumps.  She put on a truly beautiful show at Turntable.  Turntable is an intimate venue in the heart of Broad Ripple Ave in Indianapolis.  The vibes are dark and moody, vintage and chill.  On this night, she had Dan Hubbard, from Bloomington, Illinois to open up the stage for her.  

If your rock and roll spirit needs a breath of fresh fascination, let me introduce you to Hailey Ezzell: the new face of the old soul. Ezzell has been radiating her retroactive passion and determined musicianship across south Florida for several years, and is here to claim her rightful throne as Queen of the Airwaves— the title of her long-awaited debut album. In anticipation of the November 21st drop date, I sat down with Ezzell to unveil the story of her regal release, as w

Dream Theater is on the Parasomnia 2025 US Tour - which also happens to be their 40th year anniversary.   On October 23rd they brought their tour into Proctor's Theatre in Schenectady NY.   I've been a longtime fan - first seeing and photographing them on the "Pull me Under" tour when they played the Palace Theater in Albany NY on May 16th,1993.  I've seen them a few times since - always delivering a great live show!  Musically they are all incredible players besides all of t

The final stop of Cannibal Corpse’s 2025 tour hit like a hammer smash to the face on October 22nd in Charlotte — and what a way to end it. This was my first Cannibal Corpse show, and I couldn’t have asked for a wilder introduction.

On October 19, 2025, Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club in Portsmouth, NH, welcomed the all-star jazz drummer Cindy Blackman Santana. An American jazz and rock drummer performing since the 80s, Blackman was the drummer in Lenny Kravitz’s band, performing through multiple world tours and hit albums. In 2010, she was part of the all-star line-up performing “Bitches Brew”, a tribute to Miles Davis’ seminal album staged at the San Francisco Jazz Festival and NYC Winter Jazz Fest.

I removed my usual items at any venue's security check-in–camera, camera fanny pack, phone–when the guard asked if I could take off my carabiner and pant chain. As I unclipped them, "I'm guessing you've asked a lot of people this tonight?", and was met with a, "You know, not as much as you'd think." Nice, security got the joke. With half of The Beaches identifying as LGBTQ+, they’ve naturally built a queer fan base and this was on full display at their Los Angeles show.

As a photographer of live music, I visited different venues inside and outside the U.S. to take pictures of live music bands. The music genres that I covered include a wide variety from broadly categorized like classical, jazz, rock, pop, and hip-hop, to more specific subgenres such as blues, country, reggae, electronic and metal.
