Ponderosa Stomp Photo Archive

Special announcement to my New Orleans friends - I've helped organize a photo exhibit for the Ponderosa Stomp, on view tomorrow through Wednsday (April 27-29). 32 Prints covering artists from this amazing festival. I have 15 images in the show and there is also fine work by my colleagues Joe Rosen and Syndey Byrd.

Tonight we are auctioning 16 framed exhibition prints at a special donor event and all 32 images are available as 11 x 14 signed artist's proofs.

The Ponderosa Stomp features 2 amazing nights of music at the House of Blues, 3 days of conferences and film screenings and a year long exhibit about the roots of New Orleans blues, r&b and rock 'n roll.

SXSW Photos Featured in Rolling Stone

Toot toot! (that's my (own) horn) Photos of Deer Tick and the Strange Boys, both bands I enjoyed a great deal at SXSW, were published in the current issue of Rolling Stone. Both bands were featured as Top 5 breakout bands from the conference and Deer Tick led the article. Which says as much about my excellent taste as my mad kamera skilz. Toot Toot!

Eddie Bo, a last email - RIP

Eddie Bo (Edwin Bocage) passed away on March 18th, 2009. I was on the road at the time, in the middle of sxsw. Two weeks prior, I received this email out of the blue from Mr. Bo and it made my day. Maybe he was tying up loose ends, or maybe it should be taken at face value as a kind note from a sincere person. Regardless, the honor was mine.

Anyone who had seen him play in recent years observed a youthful and keen man with another 20 years of gas in the tank. His sudden disappearance was a shock.
