Three Guitaristas at Graham Central Station

Last Thursday night the Guitaristas tour featuring William Clark Green (Guns Up), Sean McConnell and Randy Rogers made an appearance at Graham Central Station in Pflugerville. It was an awesome night full of amazing singer songwriters! Including special appearances by Brian Keane and Josh Abbott. My goal for this set of photos is to show how much fun artists have together. This scene is such a great scene to be a part of and I love the “bromances” involved! It was such a fun time and I hope the photos show that!

I hope everyone has a very blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year! Remember to stop by and hopefully see my year in photos! đŸ™‚

Rock On.

Gary Clark Jr @ Stubb’s Legendary Bar-B-Q.

This past Friday I was able to mark another artist off my Photobucket list! I was introduced to Gary Clark Jr over a year ago and I immediately fell in love with him. His talent blows my mind! I’ve been trying to get to a show of his for a while but he’s been touring all over this world. He finally came back home to Austin this past weekend and played 2 sold out shows at Stubb’s Bar-B-Q. I was lucky enough to get a photo pass for his Friday show. I got there and realized there wasn’t a pit for us photographers, we were in mixed in with the 1400000000 general admission people. Yup, Princess Photostar was thrown a different element! I end up actually enjoying it even though I was stuck in one spot for the show. I met some cool photographers and was really grateful they took me under their wing to make sure I got some good shots. SEEEE we aren’t all competitive stuck up, aholes. :). I also go to go back to the days of only shooting the first 3 songs! Here are the photos I took Friday night! Let me know what you think and look back for another BUCKET LIST band I photographed after Gary Clark Jr.

Rock On.

FowlerFest.

Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure of photographing Fowlerfest. Mother nature decided rain in the Austin area was more important, so the festival had to be shut down before Kevin could take stage. Bummer. I was really looking forward to this festival because I rented a fisheye lens to get some new material. Sometimes you prepare yourself but in the end you still can’t control everything. A good life lesson everyone needs to learn! I’m not too overly pleased with the photos I took and I’m not 100% on board with the fisheye. I’ve decided to experiment with it again at another show I have coming up since I didn’t get to use it much Saturday. Oh well. Here are the photos that I did get. Hope you enjoy!

Randy Rogers Band- Whitewater Amphitheater

Sigh. Randy Rogers Band. I absolutely love them. I love their music, concerts, merch, everything. I hadn’t seen them since Lone Star Jam in May, so I was really excited to not only see them but photograph them in front of a SOLD OUT crowd in New Braunfels! Below are the photos I captured. I hope you dig them and you have a great HUMP Day! đŸ™‚

 

Rock On.

Justin van Sant @ Midnight Rodeo.

Only a good friend could get me to go to Midnight Rodeo nowadays, I’m officially too old for that place. But when Justin let me know they were going to be in Austin, I made and exception. I don’t remember much from Justin’s last show I went to thanks for Budlight and Fireball Whiskey (gets me every time). I’m pretty sure I had a great time. hahaha. I love Justin’s band and you really do get a great live show. Here are some photos I snapped at their show. Enjoy and Happy Monday!

Rock on.
