Our cameras go behind the scenes, in the photo pits, around the world with amazing musicians. Here’s a glimpse – or snapshot – into that reality.
paul simon + wyclef jean @ outside lands 2019
On our way to enjoy the final headliner of Outside Lands 2019, we happened upon a rather large crowd in the middle of the polo field, by the merchant tables. For a moment, I thought the crowd had reached that far back, an hour or so before the performance, and I...
the mountain goats @ east river park
On August 10th, the Mountain Goats gave a free outdoor performance in East River Park at sunset, in the shadow of the Williamsburg Bridge. The amphitheater quickly filled with fans as the day’s heat burned off and the night became cooler. Largely playing tracks off...
ben folds @ starlight theatre
On Friday night, Ben Folds made a spectacular appearance at Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, MO. Our city has an affinity for this man, palpable when he sang a song about making Jason Sudeikis his "piano bitch" back in the day when he used to play The Bottleneck in...
the war and treaty @ hinterland music festival
If you haven't gotten yourself out to a show with The War and Treaty, then you have no idea what you're missing out on. The roots/Americana duo - comprised of Michael Trotter Jr & Tanya Blount-Trotter - played an afternoon set at Hinterland Music Festival...
hippo campus @ hinterland music festival
Hippo Campus absolutely thrilled the wall to wall crowd during their afternoon set at Hinterland Music Festival. Photographer Kinzie Ferguson caught some incredible moments from the crowd, as seen below. Keep up with Hippo Campus here.
brandi carlile + hozier @ hinterland
Apologies if the headline of this photo set made you think we had a round 2 duet featuring Hozier and Brandi Carlile a la Bonnaroo 2019 at Hinterland Music Festival this year. Our photographers were roaming the grounds a little more and captured these two performances...
alex lahey @ outside lands music festival
In May 2018, we got our first true chance to see Alex Lahey perform live. Not only were we enchanted by her set in the mid-day heat at Sasquatch Music Festival, but it left us wanting more. Her appearance at 2019's Outside Lands was one for the books, as she played a...
ruston kelly @ hinterland music festival
Technical difficulties didn’t keep Ruston Kelly from playing a fantastic set on Sunday of the Hinterland Music Festival. After a brief delay to the start of the show, Ruston quickly turned the mood around and got the crowd moving with his energetic brand of Americana....
mxtmoon portraits @ outside lands
It's wonderful what some fresh air can do for you. We caught up with mxtmoon at Outside Lands festival for a few quick portrait shots, and found this fun little backdrop on the perimeter of the polo field. How fun to duck into some trees and feel like you're the only...
judah & the lion @ starlight theater
Judah & the Lion…what can I say? They are a band that I have seen multiple times, and that I will probably continue to see. My first encounter, admittedly, was a personal tour with the guys around the Kansas City Zoo as they were just gaining traction with "Take...
