Phoenix 8-7-13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on June 3, 2014

Phoenix is a band on the rise from the ashes of obscurity. With that success comes a hallmark in any artist career, a headlining show at the best venue in America, Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Unfortunately the show was moved to 1st Bank Center at the last minute due to weather reports that never came true, you […]

Dinosaur Jr opened the night in support of Phoenix at 1st Bank Center, a show moved at the last minute from Red Rocks Amphitheatre due to weather reports that never came true. You know what they say about the weather in Colorado. For best slideshow viewing click on the fullscreen button

Warren Haynes and The Colorado Symphony Orchestra performed the music of Jerry Garcia this beautiful night at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Warren even used the famed Garcia signature guitar, Wolfy, and the audience could not be happier about the sound they had the pleasure of basking in the entire event.

Another side of Musketeer Gripweed

Posted by Jim in Artist Portraits on February 26, 2014

I know that hindsight is 20/20, but with the new album “Floods & Fires” about to be released, I see, looking back, how much this period was influencing the writing and general direction of the band. The portraits below are in the shadows of the fire-scarred slopes of Poudre Canyon just above them. Walking around […]

CSO – featuring Branford Marsalis – 9/21/13

Posted by Jim in Colorado Symphony Orchestra on February 26, 2014

They say things happen for a reason and I think this concert proves that. Branford Marsalis was what drew me to this show; I have long been a fan ever since I heard him playing “Eyes of the World” with the Grateful Dead. But this show was ultimately not about him at all, this show […]

Anders Osborne & The Colorado Symphony Orchestra 7-28-13

Posted by Jim in Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Concert Photos on August 19, 2013

This entire day was outstanding from start to finish. It started with a portrait session with Anders that you can see here, and then the phenomenal performance followed! Already a fan of Osborne’s music, I was in total awe seeing this collaboration with the Colorado Symphony in all its grandeur. Judging by the expressions on […]

Rodrigo y Gabriela & The Colorado Symphony Orchestra 7-28-13

Posted by Jim in Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Concert Photos on August 15, 2013

How do you take the most dynamic guitar duo in the world and super charge their performance? Some might add a drummer and maybe a bass player, maybe even an over the top laser show with pyrotechnics and fireworks? No, it takes the entire Colorado Symphony Orchestra to match Rodrigo y Gabriela’s level of musicianship […]

Anders Osborne – One on One

Posted by Jim in Artist Portraits on August 14, 2013

I have long been a huge fan of Anders Osborne’s art. His music draws from his life, which seasons it with a large dose of reality that the everyday listener can relate to. His body of work as a whole is a beautiful story written in the language of the common man. His failures and […]

Steve Martin, Edie Brickell, and Steep Canyon Rangers 7-20-13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on August 13, 2013

Steve Martin is a master of the stage and his presentation of this show was absolutely brilliant. He perfectly incorporated comedy into the performance, using the band and the audience to create a happy, fun-loving environment before the first note was even played. His banter between songs was hilarious and became the perfect setup for […]

Robert Plant & the Black Angels 7-10-13 Red Rocks

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on August 12, 2013

I was thrilled to get the opportunity to shoot Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters at Red Rocks. He has been a major contributor to my life’s soundtrack, so it was awesome to simply attend the show, let alone photograph it. The performance lived up to every expectation, with a mix of well known […]

Rocky Mountain Power Jam 6-28-13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on August 8, 2013

The Rocky Mountain Power Jam occurred post Widespread Panic at Cervante’s Masterpiece Ballroom and Other Side. A revived annual tradition post-Panic after missing the last few years, this event was well received and carried on until the early hours of of the morning. The event featured: Colonel Bruce Hampton (Aquarium Rescue Unit), George Porter Jr. […]

Widespread Panic 6-28-13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on August 6, 2013

After taking a hiatus last year, Widespread Panic (WSP) returned to Red Rocks with their annual run of shows and I was there to capture it. This night marked the 40th consecutive sold out show for the band at the historic venue, giving WSP the bragging rights of king of the mountain. Judging by this […]

Jerry Joseph & The Jackmormons 6/20/13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on July 11, 2013

Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons took residency at Cervante’s Other Side for a 2 night run of shows on June 19th and 20th. Unfortunately, I could only attend the latter of the two. Having since listened to the recording from both nights, I am sure I missed the smoker. But, this crew is nothing short […]

Emmylou Harris 6-17-13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on July 10, 2013

What a wonderful day this was at Denver Botanic Gardens! Emmylou Harris is an icon of the music industry and has had a legendary career performing with the biggest and brightest artists of the last half century. With a resume so long and illustrious that any new material has a lot to measure up to, […]

Trombone Shorty 6/8/13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on July 8, 2013

Trombone Shorty is a favorite artist of mine, so shooting these images was a blast for me. His stage presents is incredible! He exudes energy so moving you can’t help but to start to dance. His New Orleans roots season his music with soul and funk, and his backing band brings the sweet tea […]

Big Head Todd & The Monsters 6/8/13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on July 8, 2013

Big Head Todd & The Monsters are just a local band playing their regular annual gig at Red Rocks Amphitheater with 10,000 friends. The band is proud to call the front range of CO their home, and the fans here are proud to claim them as family too judging by the passion of the […]

Umphrey’s McGee 6-7-13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on July 7, 2013

Umphrey’s McGee took charge of Red Rock Amphitheater with authority and put on a show to rival any preceding it. This is no longer the new kids on the block’s band, but rather a road-tested cast and crew ready to own Red Rocks. And, they did. The music was tight, well-orchestrated, and left no doubt […]

Brian Nevin Session

Posted by Jim in Artist Portraits on July 7, 2013

This portrait session I shot with Brian Nevin, drummer for Big Head Todd & The Monsters. I took these images at Red Rocks Amphitheater during BHTM sound check for potential use by his sponsor drum stick company for commercial marketing purposes. I don’t need Red Rocks to make killer images but when I’m there, I […]

Damon Wood’s Harmonious Junk

Posted by Jim in Artist Portraits on July 7, 2013

When Damon contacted me about creating some new promotional images for the new album Sirens and Pipers media push, I was stoked. Nothing makes me happier than making art inspired by art I dig, and this certainly is just that! As soon as the I started to contemplate the band, I saw theses images in […]

Widespread Electrical Sales

Posted by Jim in Commercial on June 21, 2013

Widespread Electrical Sales is an innovative, new company in an aging industry. Their outside the box thinking and fresh ideas have quickly made them a big player in the marketplace dominated by old school titans. Founder Scott Vaughn has brilliantly led this start-up from his garage in 2008 to the impressive new Denver facility (featured […]
