Luck Reunion 2017

I was taking photos so hot that my laptop exploded.

Actually, that was due to ancient MacBook battery but it felt cool to type. Last week, I returned to Spicewood, Texas for my second Luck Reunion. What’s that? Well, country legend Willie Nelson hosts a festival on his Luck Ranch near a bunch of Western facades and buildings he built for an ’80s western called “Red Headed Stranger.”

The boutique Americana-leaning festival hired me to shoot the main stage, and I teamed up with my great friend Adam Kemp to shoot the headlining acts. I ended up with nearly 200 GB worth of photos and edited things down to a more manageable figure.

I’ve got shots of Margo Price, Willie Nelson, Conor Oberst, M. Ward, Shovels & Rope and a lot more great talent. Also, I replaced my laptop because of the amazing freelance gig. I guess you call that balance.

Take a look at all my photos from the Texas festival here.

I shot a vinyl unwrapping video for Samantha Crain’s beautiful new album. A special thanks to Guestroom Records for lending me a record player when mine busted before the shoot. Also, to my buddy Brian for lending his time and living room.

You can still pre-order “You Had Me At Goodbye” here. It’s really really really good.

Be on the lookout for the vinyl video and a live music video my friends and me shot.

Parker Millsap knew he was home.

In a packed Sooner Theatre, the native Okie songwriter performed to a full house. His friends and family were peppered throughout the sold-out crowd. How could I tell?

One of Millsap’s cousins requested a song and shouted a thank you from the back of the venue. The night also was full of tight performances and a rowdy room. Well, as rowdy as a seated venue can get.

Turnpike Troubadours at The Criterion

The sound of fist hitting face stopped me dead in my tracks. The fight happened and ended quicker than I could cradle my camera and take a couple steps back. A few friends stepped in between the brawlers and it was back to the music.

A couple women tried to explain to me what happened but all I could hear was hoots and hollers for the Turnpike Troubadours. Oklahoma is known for some rowdy acts but nothing compares to a crowd at a TT show. I’ve never seen so many empty beer cans in my life.

This was my first time catching the band, and I have a feeling I’ll be back to see an even bigger crowd sing along to every word. I especially enjoyed catching opening acts Charley Crockett and BC & The Big Rig. It was the most bustling, sold-out crowd at The Criterion to date.

See all my photos here.

Carly Gwin Bubble Photo Shoot

I shouldn’t have been surprised to discover Carly Gwin’s new EP is excellent.

However, I was surprised when I heard she hand’t squared away any promo photos. We threw together something simple and fun to match her nostalgia-tinged album cover. It’s a photo of her when she was very young and holding a giant bubble. Check it out below.

I’m happy with how these turned out. More photos here.

Evan Stephens Hall House Show

Every now and again there’s a concert so good that it reminds me why I spend half my year going to them. This was one of them.

Pinegrove’s frontman Evan Stephens Hall was driving across the country because his grandmother was too old to drive her car. So, he picked up the vehicle in California and made his way back to New Jersey. This Norman house show was one of his stops.

Hall tested a lot of new material and played several tracks from “Cardinal,” an album highlight of 2016. Check out some more pics below.

Sun Studio Photos in Mix

“At the historic Sun Studio, engineers Ples Hampton and Curry Weber produced and recorded an EP for 10-piece rock ‘n’ roll band Matt Stansberry & The Romance; the performances will also appear as part of the studio’s ongoing Sun Sessions series on PBS.”

That’s an excerpt from a trade magazine my photo work appeared in recently. It’s called “Mix” and it reminded how much fun this trip to Memphis was. Check out the article here.

You can see all my photos from that weekend here.

Flaming Lips at The Criterion

When people give you a heads up that a unicorn is going to get wheeled throughout a concert crowd, it doesn’t actually sink in until you’re standing in the way of the glowing, horse-sized creature. Confetti, balloons and a Griswold family christmas amount of lights accompany most Flaming Lips shows but there’s always a surprise, too.

Rae Sremmurd at OKC Farmers Market

By Nathan Poppe · Comments (0)

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2016

Champagne was popped, pineapples were smashed and bags of potato chips were thrown into the crowd.

That’s the norm for a Rae Summered show, and the hip-hop duo landed in Oklahoma City just days after hitting No. 1 because of a great song and a ridiculous internet challenge. It was a rowdy concert filled with a sold-out crowd. I’d love to see more shows here because it’s tough to beat the bouncy wooden floors and old school appeal of the Farmers Market.

Check out all my photos from that evening here.

Jason Isbell at The Criterion

I know what Jason Isbell fans are after.

Songs that entertain just as quickly as they’ll devastate. Well, Isabel delivered an emotional punch during his two hour set at The Criterion this month. Although, he gets hit with a country genre tag, his show rocked more than anything. Isabel is plaintive but with an appealing edge. The Alabama-born sensation also has a sound that’s more than ready to fill arenas. It’s just a matter of time before everyone catches on.

Check out all my photos from that evening along with some shots of the opener Lucero.

The heat’s sticking around but summer is over for OU students.

More than 20 bands performed inside and outside of the Opolis on Aug. 27, and I visited to document the evening. I love shooting at this venue during magic hour because of that endless Oklahoma sky.

You can check out the rest of my shots here.

Alice Cooper at The Criterion

Alice Cooper has been playing rock music longer than two-thirds of the world has been alive.

Simply put, he knows what he’s doing. I was surprised by how much fun and energy was packed into his concert. It’s not the shocking display it used to be but it’s definitely a giddy rock spectacle.

Check out all my photos here.

One half boy band and the rest parts infectious pop rock.

That’s roughly the recipe for this English quartet. Fans stood in 90 degree heat and then screamed every single lyric alongside this energetic crew.
