Last Weekend's Photos

 Friday, photos of Toast: A Tribute To Bread at the Macon Opera House in Macon, GA. Saturday, photos of the Ties & Tails gala at the Revelry, and the Holy Angels NC gala at Charlotte Catholic.

My thanks to everyone that took part in, or watched the Rusty Barkley tribute today in Mooresville. The good ones sadly do not live forever, but the love and lives that we share do. Here's to you, Rusty, until the next time I photograph you.
Love to all, see you soon, and see you on the road.

RIP Phil Lesh

A box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through.

Recent Events, October 20th

 This past week. Whew.

Photographed anywhere from two to events a day for the past week, produced two songs to round out Phil Lee's forthcoming album with the Mannish Boys, finished work on another album for release in the coming months, and got to listen to a lost album from a 60s artist that I recently helped in locating. Ah, the thrill of listening to recordings that you never thought you would, as you feel the late-night rush of exhilaration and sleep deprivation.
And so much more, which I hope to tell you about soon.
Here's to those traveling faster than the speed of life. See you soon, and see you on the road.

Avett Photo In Inreach Gala auction

Hello friends and The Avett Brothers fans. I have donated a print of a 2004 photo of the Avetts to this year's Inreach 50th anniversary gala auction. This posed pic comes from the promo shoot for the Mignonette album, and is a favorite of mine.


All money raised goes to Inreach. Check it out at the link below, and spread the word.

New Todd Johnson Record That I Co-Produced

For those that have been asking about my recent record productions, Todd Johnson has kicked off a new episode of his Making Noise podcast with the debut of one of the songs that I produced with Todd and Dan Hood. Todd will be debuting the new album, Late Night Love Therapy Sessions, at the The Evening Muse on December 21st. You should be there.

This has been a three year project with Todd, and I can't wait for you to hear what this record sounds like. Stay tuned, and go to makingnoisepod.com, or wherever you listen to podcasts for this new episode.
