Bilmuri’s sold out stop at The Fillmore Charlotte was nothing short of a party disguised as a concert. From the moment Johnny Franck walked on stage, grinning ear to ear, it was clear the night would be special. He comes across as one of the most genuine, happy, and grateful performers I have ever seen—someone who truly appreciates every person in the room.

I had the pleasure of shooting Bayside’s second Charlotte night of the Errors Tour, and the band did not disappoint. Playing back-to-back nights in the same city is no easy feat, but Bayside made it feel effortless, delivering a set that was both sharp and spontaneous.

The Descendents, punk rock pioneers, were graciously greeted at The Underground by fans of all ages. When I say all ages, I mean generations worth of fans. It wasn’t uncommon to see day one fans with their kids, singing along and having a grand old time….it was a beautiful sight to see.
