BB King @ the Pacific Amphitheater at OC Fairgrounds


Shooting BB King was an interesting experience because the stage at the fairgrounds amphitheater is really low and I was literally 2 feet away from him with him making eye contact. Really wish they had let me stay for the concert. Would have been amazing to see his whole set.

Adele @ the Palladium


Wanda Jackson opened the show but unfortunately I was shooting from the back of the venue and the light was really dim and I wasn't able to get anything good of her. What a shame that the amazing Wanda Jackson was playing and they put no light on her and treated her like she was some crappy opener. I thought it was rude. But, Adele's performance was incredible. She's almost better in person than her album. Plus she's quite funny.

Long Beach Funk Fest


The second festival of the month. I had high hopes for the Funk Fest and was excited to shoot it, that is until I got there. Sadly I have to say I was bored to tears. The acts played waaaay too long and it had the pace of a snail. Not the energy I was expecting from a Funk Fest. Hope they up their game next year and lessen the set times. 



The days performances included:
Zigaboo
Big Ol’ Nasty Getdown
Fred Wesley & the New JB’s
Ronkat
Steve Arrington
