Over the years, I have been asked a lot of questions from newcomers. While I don’t mind answering each e-mail that is sent to me. I figured it would be more helpful to just have all the answers all in the same spot. If the question isn’t below, then send me an e-mail and I’ll try my best to answer it. Below you’ll find the Concert Photography Frequently Asked Questions:

The Ska is Dead tour made it’s way to Sayreville, New Jersey Sunday afternoon. The show was held at Starland Ballroom, which I shot there once before in their parking lot for the Mighty Mighty Bosstones & Dropkick Murphys show. Hub City Stompers were the 3rd band on the bill.

It’s been a year since last seeing one of my favorite Celtic rock bands, The Young Dubliners from California. They released a new album Saints and Sinners back in February, and it’s still being constantly played on my iPod like I just heard it for the first time. But now it was time to see the band perform those songs live at Blender Theater in New York City.

Seven Nations were the opening act for Young Dubliners at Blender Theater at Gramercy last Thursday in New York City. Their mixture of Celtic, rock n roll, and country folk were a perfect combination for an opening act for the Young Dubs.

Flogging Molly continue to be one of the most exciting bands to see live and to photograph live as well. Even though all the kids love to be screamed out these days, Flogging Molly are still one of the most popular bands on the Warped Tour.

Gallows have been talked about amongst concert photographers for awhile now. You need to experience their shows for yourself to truly understand what kind of band Gallows are. They are a UK Hardcore band that just released their 2nd album called Grey Britain. Even if you don’t like hardcore, definitely check them out on the Warped Tour this year!

Anti-Flag are always a fun band to shoot because they give you the opportunity to come away with so many jumpshot photos. I managed to get a few of Chris #2 jumping, some shots are better than others. If you get a chance to shoot Anti-Flag this year on the tour, be sure to do so.

The next band on the main stage at the Warped Tour was The Chiodos. Again, wasn’t a fan. Clearly the kids enjoyed their set a lot and were going crazy for them. I just wanted to take pictures of as many bands as I could so they were simply the next ones on the list.

The first band I shot for the Vans Warped Tour this year was Christian metal band The Devils Wears Prada. I haven’t heard their music before but I don’t think I really heard it at the concert anyway since it’s nothing but screaming. But despite that, they at least make some great faces for photographs. I just wish the band didn’t spit so god damn much. Oops I said god damn…
