3 months ago Show me your #baconface ! Here are some extra crowd shots and dancing shots from @spacebacon ’s #soldout @mercuryloungeny show back on 12/29/19. I also wrote a brief thing up on the band on @thepokearound today, check it out (link in bio). It’s part of a new #weeklyartistspotlight that I’d like to start doing—a few blurbs each week about whatever artists I’m hyped on or want to help spread the buzz about. And I’m really hyped on Space Bacon—itching to catch them again in February in VT or Hartford, or both! #spacebacon #spacebaconmusic #mercuryloungenyc #phishafterparties #biscuitsafterparty #brooklynmusic #brooklynmusicscene #nyc #nysmusic #thepokearound #livemusic
2 months ago This band transcends. What an extraordinary opening night to @ghostlightband ’s east coast run. Go and catch one of their shows in this weekend, I urge you. #ghostlight #ghostlightband #ghostlightmusic #theatreoflivingarts #nightone #tourkickoff #eastcoasttour #ghostlighttour #jambands #psychedelicrock #psychedelicmusic #rockphotography #concertcrowd #concertlights #concert #concertphotography #livemusic #livemusicphotography #tomhamilton #hollybowling #scottyzwang #rainamullen #danafricano #keepyourhandstoyourself #bestkeptsecret #thepokearound
1 month ago A picture of @glass_pony_band ’s sweet late night #twiddle after show a few weekends ago, and a picture of the magnificent @elliottmpeck performing with @rgenauer this past Sunday. I won’t be able to see these two share the stage when Glass Pony opens up for @midnightnorth this Friday at @thehollowalbany , but if you can, you should! Because both of these bands will rock your world. #glasspony #glassponyband #midnightnorth #hollowbaralbany #albany #ny #upstateny #upstatenymusic #nysmusic #thepokearound #rockmusic #jambands #folkrock #psychedelicrock #livebands #jamflow #music #livemusic #musicphotography #livemusicphotography
