I’ve been recording live concert events for almost a decade, both as a freelancer and as part of documentation teams. My work at major music festivals includes Bonnaroo, Okeechobee, FloydFest, Hopscotch, and Moogfest. I’ve also recorded local bands in small venues with great success.
If you have a live event that you would like to have captured, please contact me.
