Performance Photography: Bill Burr at the Paramount Theater

I had the pleasure of photographing comedian Bill Bur’s performance at the Paramount Theater on Saturday night.  I remembered him from Chappelle’s show, but wasn’t overly familiar with his stand-up work (I was in the minority here).  He was really great, several memorable riffs.  We stayed for the entire show.  He’s appearing on Breaking Bad’s season 4 and has a very popular “Monday Morning” podcast/rant that you can check out in iTunes.

Enjoy,

Music Photography: The Civil Wars conquer The Paramount

The Civil Wars tore through a sold out set at the Paramount Theater last night.  They’re a big deal right now and it’s easy to see why.  One guitar and two humans owned the entire room for nearly 2 hours.  The highlight for me was a disguised  acoustic cover of Smashing Pumkin’s “Disarm”.  I’ve never mentioned an opening act before, but I’d be remiss not to in this case.  The Staves opened the show.  They are three sisters from Scotland that feature the most luscious three part harmonies I’ve heard in a long while…not to mention solid hooks and strong melodies.  No backing band accompanied either act…and I personally didn’t miss it.  Keep your eyes peeled for both of these acts during SXSW 2012.  Thanks again Paramount…2012 continues it’s stellar streak in this beautiful theater.

Music Photography: Lyle Lovett & Shawn Colvin at the Paramount!

 

Well, it was another magic night at the Paramount Theater in Austin, TX as Lyle Lovett and Shawn Colvin performed a stunning acoustic set in front of a sold out crowd benefitting Marathon Kids.  After photographing the first couple of songs we stayed for this one and it was so good!  The music was predictably outstanding, but the chemistry between Lyle Lovett and Shawn Colvin and the audience was jovial and intimate all at once.  Lots of laughter in between beautiful songs was the theme for the evening at the Paramount…if this show was any indication, 2012 will be a good year at the nearly 100 year old theater!

NYE 2012: Bob Schneider at the Paramount Theater

So I got to photograph Bob Schneider’s sold out New Years Eve performance at the beautiful Paramount Theater in downtown Austin.  The place was packed, the mood jovial, and Bob & Co sounded great.

Thanks to the Paramount folks for another great year…it’s a privilege to document these performances!

Amy & Ryan: Dallas Wedding Photo Preview!

One of the coolest parts of my job is that I’m often in control of my own destiny including choosing my clientele.  When Amy called to talk about photographing she & Ryan Shaughessy’s upcoming wedding I was psyched.  It would be my  third wedding with the Buchanan family…a very fun family!  Skit’s, poetry, singing, party bus…check, check, check, check.  Amy and Ryan’s Dallas wedding ceremony took place at the beautiful Christ the King Catholic Church followed by a celebration at Marriot Los Colinas in Dallas.  The event was coordinated by Kristin Hall of Event Elements featured flowers by Rufus Felix Florist and cakes from Panini Bakery.

My thanks to both families for entrusting Digitalegacy to preserve these memories once again.
