Vans Warped Tour | Scranton, PA | July 11, 2016
I never imagined that my Starbucks chai tea addiction would lead to such incredible opportunities! A few years ago, I met Brent while ordering my typical "venti no water chai". He quickly became one of my favorite Baristas! We found out we had a lot of common interests, including tattoos, music, snowboarding, and caffeine! I also quickly found out that Brent happens to be a pretty incredible drummer, and asked him if he was willing to take on my middle daughter as a drum student. He agreed, and he's quickly become an extended member of my family!
Brent started touring with Emarosa this year when they found themselves in need of a drummer. A few months ago, Brent helped me get a photo pass to shoot Emarosa at the Chameleon Club. Last week, Brent came through for me again and hooked me up with a photo pass for Warped Tour when they were in town (well, as close to being "in town" as they were going to get). The rest of the family also got all-access passes, and it was a pretty incredible experience for all of us! I want to provide my daughters with experiences that they will remember for the rest of their lives, and I think this one definitely qualified!
Here are a few of the MANY photos that I took at Warped Tour that day. Everything took place in Scranton, around the Pavilion at Montage Mountain. Brent, thank you again for the opportunity to shoot this event!! It's been an honor being able to follow along as you chase your own dreams.
Chameleon Club, Lancaster PA | Emarosa + Coldrain
A good friend of mine (who also happens to be my daughter's drum instructor) is currently touring with Emarosa as their drummer! They played at the Chameleon Club back on March 26, 2016, and I was able to capture a few images while I was there enjoying the show. I also snapped a few photos of Coldrain, a rock band from Japan. After seeing both bands live, I'm definitely a new fan! The energy of all of the bands was incredible that night!
Both Emarosa and Coldrain will be playing on the Warped Tour this summer! I'm looking forward to catching them on stage again!
Venue: Chameleon Club, Lancaster, Pennsylvania
