Rubber Biscuit
There’s a lot of buzz around Houston surrounding the opening of our very own House Of Blues. I was lucky enough to tag along with one of my music cohorts and photograph Dan Aykroyd who’s in town to promote the grand opening which will feature a performance by the Blues Brothers.
Say what you will about The Blues Brothers not being the original band due to the death of John Belushi, the show promises to be pretty spectacular. They’ve rounded up some of the most legendary musicians around and all expectations are that the show is to be one for the ages.
Sadly, the event is invite only. You can possibly score tickets through the Ticketmaster auction. Also, The Houston Press is giving away a few pairs.

The Dedringers
Saw a band called The Dedringers at Shoeshine Charley’s Big Top Lounge on Friday night. These guys are quite remarkable. Reminded me of a young Rolling Stones. Definitely worth checking out if you have the chance.
This is also a personal favorite in terms of my concert photography. The lighting in The Bigtop is challenging to say the least so a little more effort, even desire is needed to squeeze something usable out of the venue.
This shot embodies everything I love about this kind of photo op. Great (if relatively unknown) band in a small venue playing to a small but appreciative audience.
Good times!
