UPDATE - OMG Y’all are so creative with your clues!! I LOVED reading them. Some people didn’t follow the rules and named the artist in the comments so I deleted those to keep the theme. But yes, the photo is Phil Lesh. It was the last time I saw Phil perform at the Warren Haynes Christmas Jam in Asheville in 2022.

Tell me who this artist is WITHOUT telling me who the artist is. Like give me a clue but DON'T say the actual name. 😉

(Let's keep the music conversation going with some new games. Some days will be questions about shows, etc., some days will be guess the artist, some days will be show your ticket stub, etc. Then, on or around the 20th of every month, I'll do another print giveaway for everyone who commented.)

Last night an old friend that lives in NY messaged me that she was listening to the radio on her way to work and the DJ was talking about lil ol’ me!! She said she almost crashed her car - she couldn’t believe it!! I sent a message to the radio station and the DJ was kind enough to send me the clip! Hearing someone you’ve never met talk about your work on the radio in another part of the country is one of those moments that reminds me why I keep chasing this dream. Thank you, 101.5 WPDH and DJ Matt Wardlaw for the incredibly kind words and for confirming my reputation extends beyond my local market. ❤️🙏KANSAS

Ticket Stub Tuesday!
Post an old or sentimental ticket stub from your collection in the comments.

Mine is from my first Grateful Dead show in Hartford, CT in 1987. I I had just turned 17 years old and Ted (my now husband) and I drove up to Hartford CT from Long Island with a guy everyone called Space Jimmy and our friend Trish. 39 years ago! Ticket cost $14.50 through good ol' Ticketron! After that first show, we traveled to many more Dead shows that summer and beyond and had some of the best times of my life!

Let's settle this age old debate.

Do you wear the band's t-shirt to the show you're seeing? -or- Never wear the shirt of the band you're seeing?

There are no wrong answers - do you consider it a badge of honor or faux pas? For extra credit, post a pic of yourself in a band shirt (whether you wore it to the show or not!) ;-)

As a photographer, I LOVE when fans wear shirts of the concert that I'm shooting and I always seek those people out on the rail!!

(Y'all loved sharing your live shows on the A to Z of Live Music game we played recently, so let's keep the music conversation going with some new games. Some days will be questions about shows, etc., some days will be guess the artist, some days will be show your ticket stub, etc. Then, on or around the 20th of every month, I'll do another print giveaway for everyone who commented.)

Had the pleasure of working with Kansas again a few weeks back on some updated portraits. I don't take it lightly that this is the 3rd time they've trusted me to capture them. There is no higher compliment than a call back. ❤

Beyond the legendary music, these fellas are total pros, easy to work with and genuinely some of the nicest artists out there. Grateful for their continued trust and opportunities like this. 💫

We made it to the end of the A to Z of Live Music game!! Thanks so much for playing along - I really loved reading all your comments and brags about the shows you've seen. I'm kinda gonna miss it!! I'm a few days behind on these posts on Instagram - so when that wraps up I will do the drawing for the Print winner. This would be a good time to peruse the older posts to make sure you commented on every letter!! Stay tuned in the coming days for the winner(s) to be announced!!! Thanks again for participating.
❤❤❤
