RANCID! This show was a Rancid benefit concert to raise money for Ohloff House. This night I felt like I was 20 and walking down St Marks Place in New York City again. Bad boys? Not these guys. The goal was to make a happy crowd and help people in need and they completely succeeded. The…
The Alarm at Slims, San Francisco

Psychedelic Furs once again! The Masonic, San Francisco
I remember so clearly my younger days of listening to The Psychedelic Furs. I even still have the cassette tapes, yes I said cassette tapes, in my posession. So when they came back to San Francisco, I surely had to photograph them again. I had to sweet talk people because there was no pit. I…
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark at Regency Ballroom
Finally, I had the opportunity in my life to see Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, more popularly known as OMD. They were simply amazing. The Regency Ballroom was packed and it cannot be denied the band loved them as much as the audience loved the band. It was truly just a fantastic show. It is opportunities…
The Psychedelic Furs at The Fillmore

Oakville Sessions – Gargiulo Vineyards
What makes a perfect day? I would suggest it is Oakville Sessions at Gargiulo Vineyards and the amazing talent they have. Of course we can add the view, the food, the wine and the sunshine in the amazing Napa Valley. Look at this talent! I had a wonderful time and even better, I got to…

Live Music Photography: Just a few of my favorites
I’ve not photographed any live music shows lately and am feeling a bit blue about that. So, just a bit of bringing back the past for my own sake to get excited for some shows coming up. Inspiration usually comes from other sources than myself but this time, it’s me! I think I have the hair…

The Icarus Line plays Social Hall SF
The Icarus Line was new to me as was my first gig at The Social Hall. I’ve been to The Regency Ballroom more times than I can count but The Social Hall is new and well, I just hadn’t been! I had visions of Iggy Pop almost immediately but The Icarus Line can hold their…
Scott Weiland and The Wildabouts at Social Hall
Update December 3rd: It’s a sad day. May you find peace Scott Weiland and the best to your friends and family. It was great to see you one last time and photograph you seeing you do what you do best. I’ve seen Scott Weiland in some band or another numerous times. Personal story–he bought my…
Tim Flannery & The Lunatic Fringe at HopMonk Novato
KC Turner Presents KC Turner has been a music promoter for years in the San Francisco Bay Area and is incredibly passionate and enthusiastic about what he does. I can’t imagine that he sits still for very long at all. He produces a number of shows at venues around San Francisco like the Great…
Erykah Badu Serenades The Warfield in San Francisco
I am definitely more of the rocker, punk rock girl. Always have been. However, I like country and Motown and actually a lot of other genres. Admittedly, while I know her name, I do not know Erykah Badu‘s music. The crowd at The Warfield were obviously just enthralled with being in her presence and hearing…
