Craig Bickhardt is a one of a kind artist. He’s sincere, dedicated to his craft, talented in his craft, and he’s always trying to help fellow artists. As mentioned before, he sent me his beautiful albums, “Easy Fires” and “Brother to the Wind” here. Well, he invited me and my husband to see him perform live at Rose Tree, which is a gorgeous venue. I had to take photos, so here’s a little preview of the outstanding show Craig and his buddies put on that night!

I love featuring local artists and musicians on here, since they are the reason I get inspired in the first place with photography. So when I heard Craig Bickhardt on Reverbnation, I had to give a shout out! He is one of those musicians whose songs take you to another place entirely, with soothing melodies and quaint, beautiful harmonies. I reached out to tell him I loved “Carrying a Dream” and he was so kind to send me two of his albums, Easy Fires and Brother to the Wind, show below!

He’s such a down-to-earth great guy with such talent, please give him a listen soon and visit his site here:

He’ll be playing in Philly at the Psalm Salon on April 24th! Enjoy!

Goofy kids

Staging a “break and enter”

Playgrounds aren’t only for children.

Mike is the Incredible Hulk

Matt swung over the bar shortly after this photo was taken, contrary to common belief!

Typical band shot

Mad Sweet Pangs Shoot

Now that the blog is up and alive again, I need to update on all that’s been going on over here for the past year!

Starting last winter with these cool cats:

We did something different with the shoot, bringing in two strobes to their jam session to photograph them in action.

Here are a couple of their sweet instruments:

Then we finished up with a portrait shoot out back:

Dustin (bass/vocals)

Jordon (Keyboards/Vocals)

Rob (Drums/Cajon)

Gordon (Guitar/Vocals)

Then we ended it all by watching tv outside in the cold, without plugging it in:
