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.

The performance lived up to every expectation, with a mix of well known […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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.

Ryan Bingham 5-24-13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on June 20, 2013

The historic Chautauqua Auditorium has hosted many gatherings, from Teddy Roosevelt speaking to Billy Sunday preaching. The place has lots of stories to tell. In modern days, it has become one of Boulder’s favorite summer music spots for organic, unplugged music, given all its warm wood acoustics and intimate setting. In perfect contrast, Ryan Bingham […]

Drive-By Truckers 4/12/13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on April 30, 2013

The Drive-By Truckers are time-tested warriors of the road. Their ability to weather tumultuous times and remain a group is now as much a part of their story as the revolving cast of characters who are telling it. After Jason Isbell left, many thought they would begin to write the last chapter, but they did […]

Sigur Rós 4/6/13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on April 30, 2013

Icelandic artist, Sigur Rós, brought a nice change of pace to my typical concert shoot, and it was refreshing. The bands melodic minimalism had the audience at 1st Bank Center in a trance like state, no one spoke, it was the quietest audience in recent memory. This was my first time experiencing their ethereal sound […]

Revenge of the 90’s III 3-30-13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on April 10, 2013

Ever since I first dipped my feet in the water of Denver’s fluid music scene I have been impressed by not just the amount of fish in the pond, but more over the quality game. No matter what genre you gravitate toward you will find depth and chops that few music communities can even pretend […]

Alabama Shakes 3-9-13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on April 3, 2013

Some bands work 20 years or more to build the nationwide fame the Alabama Shakes have achieved in just one incredible year. Coming off the wave of the fame that a Grammy nomination and subsequent appearance in the awards ceremony will reward you, this band is the hot ticket to land nationwide and Denver was […]

Furthur 2/22/13

Posted by Jim in Concert Photos on March 5, 2013

Grateful Dead founders Bob Weir and Phil Lesh laid siege on the Colorado Front Range this past weekend with their band, Furthur.

Galactic & Monophonics 2/16/13

“For those who arrived two or three songs into the set, it must have felt like jumping onto a moving treadmill, because the night was already raging.” – Brian Turk The Ogden Theatre was host to New Orleans’ own veteran funk band, Galactic, but they did not leave anything back in the Big Easy!

Boulder Theatre was the host of the improve bonanza played by the Disco Biscuits this night, the first of a string of Colorado shows for the band. I was on assignment for Listen Up Denver! to capture the sum total of a “Bisco” show, lazer-beams and all, so enjoy my best efforts at capturing the […]
