Concert Photography - 2010


The first quarter of 2010 has been one in which I have focused primarily on concert photography - this due partially to the fact that our winter has been colder than usual and also that there have been some really goods shows in town this winter. There's been one band photo shoot as well (Lindy Dobbins) with others planned in the spring.

As the Charlotte Music Examiner I try to share my thoughts about the shows and the music I see, promoting Charlotte's live music "scene". Many of the following shows also have an associated review on the examiner page. You can subscribe to that if interested in future show reviews, previews, and artist interviews.

I've put one book together documenting Maddie Shuler's CD release party - It's available for preview and purchase at this link.


Links to the photo galleries for the concerts in the first quarter - hope you enjoy and if you do please remember the Share button which allows you to post images on your facebook, myspace or website.
