August 31, 2010 – Sammy Hagar and The Wabos opened for Aerosmith last night at The Palace of Auburn Hills near Detroit, Michigan. With a set list that spanned Sammy’s 30+ year career, the crowd was treated to highlights from his Montrose, pre-Van Halen, Van Halen, and Waborita eras (unfortunately no Chickenfoot, can’t have it all !). Backed by Vic Johnson on guitar, Mona Gnader on bass, and David Lauser on drums, Sammy is pure rock and roll.

July 17, 2010 – In contrast to shooting Rush at the Sarnia Bayfest last week, the Air Canada Centre (aka the ACC, or The Hangar) provided some great opportunities to take advantage of the atmospheric lighting, despite being restricted to shoot only on Geddy Lee’s side of the stage. This made shooting Neil Peart quite difficult, and shots of Alex shredding were pretty much required to be taken from the opposite side of the stage. All in all, though, an incredible performance from the three masters, and a concert I will never forget.

July 9, 2010 – Legendary Canadian rock trio RUSH play at the Sarnia Bayfest in Sarnia, Ontario. Vocalist/bass player/keyboarist Geddy Lee, guitar player Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart played a mix of old and new in their three hour set. Currently on the first leg of their Time Machine Tour, Rush played two new songs from their forthcoming album as well as the entire Moving Pictures album. Tunes such as The Camera Eye and Vital Signs have been rarely played on recent tours, so they were surely a treat for the huge crowd.

July 8, 2010 – With about 15 artists on stage, the Counting Crows’ Traveling Circus and Medicine Show was quite a challenge to shoot as far as getting some good coverage of everyone up there. Adam Duritz shared the spotlight with several other singers and musicians, and performed to a packed house at The Colosseum inside Caesars Windsor.

July 2, 2010 – Up and coming local band Anonymous Bosch played at The Blind Dog this past weekend, bringing their hard rock talents out in full force…a feast to the ears and eyes (what a light show!). We spent some time before the set taking some promo shots, which I will post for your soon. You’ll be seeing more of this band in the near future, there is no doubt.

June 10, 2010 – Hail the Villain, the Oshawa based band recently signed to Roadrunner Records, spent some time with me before their gig here in Windsor, and we managed to knock off a quick promo shoot behind The Blind Dog. We only had time to do two quick set ups, and I was concerned when Bryan the lead singer told me these guys will need a lot of direction, but as soon as we started shooting, all hell broke loose. You know your shoot is going well when someone randomly drops their pants without so much as a suggestion. A lot of fun was had.
