Old Friends Tour 2025
📍Asheville, North Carolina and Decatur, Georgia, June 28–29, 2025
Two nights, two cities, one story
There is something special about photographing live music. It is unpredictable and electric, full of quiet moments and wild ones that come and go before you even realize they are happening. The Old Friends Tour was exactly that kind of story, spread across two unforgettable nights.
Day one took place at The Grey Eagle in Asheville, North Carolina. The crowd was small enough to feel intimate but loud enough to fill every inch of the room. Warm light cut through the haze, guitars tuned up, and the first chords hit like a heartbeat.
The next night, the tour stopped at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, Georgia, where the energy shifted but the story continued. It was tighter, brighter, and somehow even more emotional. You could feel the connection between the artists and the audience, people who knew the songs by heart and were ready to sing them back.
The rhythm of trust and timing
Photographing live shows is about paying attention to rhythm. Not just the rhythm of the music, but the rhythm of everything around it: how the light moves, how a performer leans into the mic, or how someone in the front row closes their eyes and forgets where they are.
For me, these nights were a reminder of what makes live performance so powerful. It is the kind of environment where storytelling happens without words, where emotion and light do all the talking.
Reflection
Two cities, two stages, and one story of connection. Whether it is a conference, a coffee shop, or a concert, the feeling is the same. Great storytelling happens when people show up with intention, and my job is simply to be there when it does.
If you are planning an event, tour, or creative project that deserves to be documented with care and energy, I would love to help tell that story.
