There's Joy in the Shadows

On March 19th, 2004, I attended my first live show. I was just about to turn 16, and I loved emo, punk, metal, and hardcore music. My friends and I went to see Poison the Well and Thrice. During the Poison the Well set, my friend lifted me above the crowd so I could sing along into the microphone offered by the vocalist. I had recently had my appendix removed, and this act caused my stitches to tear open. I didn't care. I was in love with the thrill of mosh pits and loud music.

As of June 20, 2022, I have seen 550 sets performed at 180 different shows. It was never just a phase.

The Bass Beats in My Chest

The lack of live music events during the Covid-19 pandameic was the hardest thing for me to deal with. For two years, I couldn't bring myself to listen to music at all, because I couldn't handle the thought that I may never see a live show again.

This shot is from my first post-pandemic concert in early 2022.

Lost in the Haze

I love the dreamy feeling of being lost in a crowd, singing along to songs I've loved for decades with hundreds of equally passionate strangers. 

Everyone is a little drunk, a little nostalgic, and completely lost in the haze of the moment.
