Photo Shoot and Concert Review Ace Frehley from The Bronx, New York City, NY Sitting at home with the recently released KISS Alive II album (yes kids, this was WAY back in the seventies). Unfolded and set up so the inside gatefold would mimic being at a live concert. This is how I remember getting into one […]Read More Ace Frehley
August 2, 2019 (Mansfield, OH) – Rehab cruised into The Electric Company celebrating their latest release, Galaga. Known for their hits, 1980, Red Water, and Sittin’ at a Bar, they were ready to show this crowd all they had to offer.

Photo Shoot and Concert Review Whitesnake from Middlesbrough, Cleveland, United Kingdom 1984. That was the year I added Whitesnake’s Slide It In to my Columbia House order form. In typical fashion, the cassette arrived in about 2-1/2 weeks. Ripping the cellophane off I could not wait to see what was in store for me. The […]Read More Whitesnake

Fast forward 33 years later and I was in Columbus (OH) just mere feet from them with camera in hand. Very little fan-boy happens when on assignment, and the time it […]Read More Tesla

Another dimly lit stage and heavy as hell delivery on stage, I went with the flow of things. Some photos were really dark, but it shows exactly what the fans saw. […]Read More Deafheaven
Photo Shoot and Concert Review Zeal & Ardor from Basil, Switzerland A very interesting band with an awesome sonic landscape. They have some radio-ready music but did not play any of that during their set tonight. I assume that was to keep closer to the black metal that followed them. bathed in very dark light I […]Read More Zeal & Ardor
Photo Shoot and Concert Review John 5 from Grosse Pointe, MI Sometimes known as Rob Zombie’s guitarist – John 5 was in Akron (OH) for a show and I got the call from The Rust Belt Chronicles for coverage.
