A #throwbackthursday shot for you today; this one from 2007.
I first heard Shemekia Copeland, daughter of Texas bluesman Johnny Copeland, at the Lowell Folk Festival around 2005 and she blew us away! This image was made a few years later when she headlined at the Lowell Summer Music Series.

My friend, and fellow music photographer, Suze Utal, has been bugging me to visit this series for months. I finally made it down and WOW, what a show!

Matt is a powerful vocalist, songwriter and guitar player. I first saw him as an openner at the Lowell Summer Music Series and was blown away. He had a band with him for this show and frankly, I think I like him better solo.
This was our first visit to the legendary Club Passim. The stage lighting consisted of 3 small track lights, likely purchased from Ikea (as suggested by the openner Tom Wilson of LeeHarveyOsmand). I’m still getting the hang of my new f2.8 70-200 lens; the shots were less than stellar.

We’ve seen Roberto several times now and he never fails to impress.
The lighting in this venue contiues to vex me. I swear the color temp. changes with every shot. It’s basically a bar with a band setup at one end with two or three small spots. I think they have different bulbs in each one.

This is a very intimate venue. You can stand inches away from the talent on stage. I don’t often get this close as I feel it distracts the artist. This was taken during an encore and everyone was on their feet and crowding the stage — it was a great way to ring in 2016!
