Live Music

Bands on festival stages, in bar rooms, and one afternoon in a studio.

Stone Sugar standing in a field by the water, black and white.

Two years with Stone Sugar, plus nights with Solis Armada. Festivals, bar stages, and the occasional open field.

Almost all of it is available light, which on a stage means whatever the wash happens to be doing that second. You learn the rig, then you wait.
