Conversations, Concerts and Icons

My journey began as an award-winning writer, blogger, editor and entertainment critic. And I’m still at it.

Over at PopsAndHisses.com, I host a podcast about music and pop culture.

If you have a favorite band, I’ve probably seen them. Or talked to them. Or photographed them. (See a sampling of my shots below.) The Beatles and Best Coast; The Hold Steady and the Foo Fighters; The Pixies and Taylor Swift – they’re just a few of the thousands of conversations I’ve had with Grammy-winning, platinum-selling, world-famous musicians as well as obscure, taste-making indie rockers. (And everything in between.)

Whether for Pops and Hisses, publications such as Consequence of Sound or in my many years in the newspaper business, I also witnessed (and written about and photographed) thousands of concerts.
