Live! The Lumineers at Target Center
Rising from their origins in one of my favorite cities in the country, Denver, CO, is a band that captures and captivates a crowd of young, old, and in between. The Lumineers put out their second full length album ‘Cleopatra’ in April of 2016. Currently touring off the album, Wesley Schultz (singer, guitar, piano), Jeremiah Fraites […]
LIVE: SIMS @ First Avenue Mainroom
SIMS – making a long overdue, hometown solo performance with WebsterX, AIR CREDITS (The Hood Internet x ShowYouSuck) and NAZEEM & SPENCER JOLES – lit First Ave’s mainroom on fire. Not literally. That would be bad. SIMS and the whole Doomtree crew bring a vibe to their shows you don’t get on the road. The […]
Sitting down with Sonny Knight @ The Dakota Jazz Club
“Im 68 years old. And the way things are happening right now, I mean its very cool.” Sonny Knight smiled. “To have the recognition I do now” he continued “I mean, I owe it all to the cats that I play with. They motivate me to do what i do. I watch them play, […]
S.O.S. (Speed Of Sound) @ The Triple Rock + Interview – 11/30/16
I stopped by the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis on a rainy, late November weeknight to check out local hip hop group S.O.S. (Speed Of Sound) as they headlined Uncovered MPLS #25 Showcase. Despite the soggy weather, the house held an enthusiastic crowd and S.O.S. didn’t waste any time getting the audience to throw down. […]
LIVE COVERAGE: Murder By Death @ Fine Line Music Cafe
Murder by Death took the stage at the Fine Line Music Cafe following opener Laura Stevenson this past Friday. If you’ve listened to Murder by Death’s music and wondered how you get more from this band – you go see them live. Anything you’ve thought you wanted out of a killer live performance comes from […]
NOFX / PEARS / Useless ID @ The Cabooze -11/12/16
NOFX – Minneapolis was lucky enough to be the first city to welcome NOFX back to America since the recent presidential election, and while they made it clear that they were happy to be here, (dubbing us the second most punk city in the USA) they certainly had some thoughts to share on the subject […]
LANY @ The Fine Line, MPLS, MN
On November 5th, the band LANY arrived in Minneapolis on their 40th stop on tour at the Fine Line Music Café. Before the band even came on, there were chants of their name and fans in the front row throwing rose pedals on the stage. As soon as Jake, Les and Paul walked on stage, […]
Oh Wonder & Lany @ First Avenue
Lany’s Paul Jason, Leslie Priest and Jake Goss recently arrived on First Avenue’s stage to a cheering crowd; eager to hear their fresh r&b infused pop songs live. Great friends, good times, and a love of music created Lany (they span NY to LA). Their sound shows in ILYSB (I Love You So Bad), and […]
Jaedyn James & The Hunger Funk and Soul Spook-tacular @ the Nomad world pub
Jaedyn James and the Hunger went down the yellow brick road to a Spooktacular show at the Nomad last night. This fast rising local group was dressed in their best Wizard of Oz outfits, and the ten member band played to a packed house eager to hear their raw edge rock sound. Just seeing them […]
Denver Sings along to Caroline Smith
If you haven’t seen Minneapolis sweetheart Caroline Smith in a while, it’s because she’s been spending the last year in Los Angeles, working on new music. This October, she’s taking a break from writing to go out on what she’s calling the Big Baby Tour. This past Friday, she made a stop at Denver’s Lost Lake […]
Sonny Knight & The Lakers @ First Avenue
Sonny Knight & The Lakers have become a hometown favorite to Minneapolis. They’re leading a revival of soul music not only in the twin cities, but arguably the upper Midwest. It’s not going unnoticed either. The First Avenue Mainroom was packed this past Saturday night, concertgoers chilled from the cold October evening filed into the […]
Remembering Memphis: A look at the Beale Street Music Festival
This spring I traveled down to Memphis, TN to photograph the Beale Street Music Festival. Better late than never, I thought it would be cool to share a collection of images I shot over the course of the three day festival. There were some huge names on the line up including Neil Young, Panic! At […]
BEARTOOTH @ MILL CITY NIGHTS

Festival Palomino tramples through Minneapolis – PHOTOS
Trampled By Turtles held their annual festival at Halls Island this year. Originally scheduled to be at Canterbury Park like last year, rain and construction delays brought it to a new location. Trampled headlined the night with yet another flawless performance, and the line up before them was spectacular. The Arcs, Andrew Bird, Jake Bugg, Houndmouth, […]
The Band Of Heathens @ Dakota Jazz Club
It isn’t very often that bands out of Austin, Texas make the journey up Interstate 35 to Minneapolis. Austin has been churning out incredible musical acts for a long time, but recently people’s eyes (and more importantly, their ears) have turned to Austin for its generous music scene, and one of its standout groups is […]
A Colorado road trip: Trampled By Turtles @ Red Rocks
I recently got the opportunity to travel down to Colorado to work with Trampled By Turtles as their photographer at Red Rocks Amphitheater (Bucket list experience: checked). On 08/11/2016 TBT played their sold out show. I packed up and made my journey from the Minneapolis area with a few family members. Here is my story, through […]
Trampling through Colorado
Here’s a bunch of photos from Trampled by Turtles’ two days in Colorado. Wednesday at the Ogden was a great warm up for an amazing Thursday evening at Red Rocks. Got to meet one of the best beat writers in the NHL (and laugh about Roy leaving the Aves) both evenings. Had absolutely incredible access […]
The Perfect Rejects & Warren G @ The Cabooze
Photos by Alexander Just Written by Maya Clark Tuesday, July 19th, hip hop lovers rendezvoused at Cabooze in Downtown Minneapolis for the likes of Warren G and openers The Perfect Rejects. I could smell the cannabis in the air about a block away, so I knew I was in the right place! It was a […]
Dead & Company @ Alpine Valley Music Theater
Alpine Valley was written on the back windows of buses and station wagons, telling us where they were headed, and the license plates telling us where they were from. People descended here from as far away as New York, Florida, and California just to see them.
Motion City Soundtrack Says Goodbye to Minneapolis – Photo Gallery
A few months ago, one of Minneapolis’ most beloved bands announced their final tour, calling it quits after 18 years stating, “We have no idea what the future holds, but for now we are done.” Their set at the Varsity Theater gracefully spanned every album and their energy never faltered, which is impressive seeing as it was […]
Parts of the 2016 Telluride Bluegrass Festival
A long but fun weekend photographing and camping in Telluride, CO. Which is quite possibly one of the most beautiful places on earth. Parking is an absolute disaster, but that’s what happens when 10k cars ascend on a town the size and shape of Telluride. Trying to convince the Wife that we need to go […]
Pvris, Lydia & Polyenso @ Mill City Nights
Photographed by Alexander Just Written by Ron Janzen Polyenso, one of the opening acts, has been named one of the top 16 bands to watch in 2016, by Alternative Press. We did. We agree. Coming out of post-hardcore band Oceana, band mates Denny Agosto, Kolby Crider, Alec Prorock, Alexander Schultz and Brennan Taulbee have […]
Josh Ritter & Elephant Revival @ Red Rocks – Morrison, CO
Here are some photos from the Elephant Revival, Josh Ritter show at Red Rocks in Morrison, CO.
Elephant Revival @ The Cedar
Elephant Revival touring their latest debut Petals stopped by The Cedar Cultural Center with special guests Dead Horses. The intimacy The Cedar provides is perfect for a band of their nature. Elephant Revival’s sound filled the room perfectly, you felt surrounded by every note and movement pulling you in closer to their performance (s/0 to […]
Courtney Barnett @ First Avenue
Written and Photographed by Casey Carlson If you were one of the first few concert goers to escape the rain and enter First Avenue this past Wednesday, it wouldn’t have been hard for you to spot Courtney Barnett playing Ms Pacman off to the side of the steadily growing crowd. Courtney, along with a few band […]
Basement / Turnstile / Defeater / Colleen Green at THE GARAGE
For many, myself included, this tour lineup was one of the biggest motivators to make it through the winter. When this show was first announced, social media exploded; partially out of excitement, and partially out of outrage that a show at The Garage most likely meant a show with stage barriers. Thankfully, The Garage heard everyone loud and […]
Underoath! Rebirth Tour Live at the Ogden Theater in Denver
Photography by Tanner Morris. Did you say Underoath? Yep! They sold out the Ogden Theater in Denver, CO on Sun. April 3rd, 2016. After calling it quits a few years back, Underoath is back at it and they’re coming to a city near you. Find tickets here. "This was a show I have been […]
Photos: Dopapod live in Denver @ the Bluebird Theater
The first night of my three week trip to Colorado was spent enjoying Dopapod live at the Bluebird Theater in Denver. It was a night full of great vibes and awesome music. The people I met inside and outside the venue were all extremely nice and fun to be around. There were a few times I can […]
21 Photos: Big Gigantic live in Minneapolis
Big Gigantic is an instrumental livetronica, hip-hop and jazz influenced duo based out of Boulder, Colorado. Their combination of electronic beats with live saxophone and live drums is an interesting twist on what you hear at a typical EDM show. TSLN photographer Tanner Morris caught their set the other night at Skyway Theater in Minneapolis. […]
