JellyNYC Pool Party at McCarren Park Pool started with a bang, litterally. Lightening came down around the pool, stagehands covered equipment and torrential rain drenched the block-long line of music fans as they waited for 2:30 doors.

Sigur Ros played an absolutely spellbinding set to a full house at Manhattan Center's Grand Ballroom. Here are a few images from the front row.

I shot the first of what will be many many shows at
McCarren Park Pool this summer.
Dan Deacon,
Tom Tom Club and
Devo rocked out under the setting sun.

My old and busted portfolio just went into the garbage, right-click, empty trash. Enter the new hotness. For better or worse, I've been too busy shooting to update the site as often as I would like. There are shots in portfolio v2.0 that I never got to post to the blog.

If you find the word
Guelph both humorous and strangely appealing, you might also like Geordie Gordon's new solo project,
The Magic.

Shortly before launching into a mosh inducing rendition of his grunge hit "Hey Man Nice Shot," Filter frontman Richard Patrick did something out of character, he politely apologized to the crowd for dousing them with water. This was just one of a few unexpected moments that night.

Radio City fills with a deep reverberating bassline that cascades across the darkened stage and out into the audience for what seems like an eternity. She slinks out, heels kicking as high as her black minidress will permit. Once she is center-stage,
Erykah Badu owns the night.

As a steady stream of DeVotchKa fans entered the venue, the fingers of a young Canadian folk singer flew in a pale blur across the strings of an Autoharp. Within moments of
Basia Bulat's first notes, over a thousand talking people stopped, looked towards the stage and listened.

Outside Terminal 5, steam is rising off of rain soaked manhole covers. Despite the unseasonably poor weather, several thousand concert goers have made the trek to Eleventh Avenue for the warm and inviting sound of the the gypsy punk quartet
DeVotchKa.

The crowd roared as Tom Morello introduced Denis Leary, Slash, Jerry Cantrell and rest of the star-studded line-up. The Nokia Theater in Times Square was packed to the gills with a crowd that spanned both generation and musical genre. The house was in store for a special night of music, activism and charity to benefit
Road Recovery.
