Ingrid Michaelson's Holiday Hop 2009 at City Winery, 12/21/09

Ingrid Michaelson, her wonderful band and friend Greg Laswell held their third annual Holiday Hop at City Winery on Monday, December 21st, 2009.

Her good friend (very very good friend?) Greg Laswell opened the show.

This is a really talented, very tight band. The multi-talented Bess Rogers is hidden in this shot unfortunately.

See more high-rs shots in my Flickr photoset.

This was show number 50. I'll post more about the project and an incredible year of music after Xmas. The amazing Nick Sonderup of 100bandsin100days and his muse Sunshine joined my wife and I for dinner and the show. Make sure you check Nick's blog for the soon-to-be-released short documentary of his project. Stay tuned for a new music blog by Nick with some photography by me if I'm lucky.

Show # 50!

Phish at Madison Square Garden 12/2/09, 12/3/09 & 12/4/09

Phish played a three night run at Madison Square Garden on 12/2/09-12/4/09. Though the help of an old friend and my new friends at New York Magazine, I got credentials to shoot these for New York Magazine's "Out on the Weekend" feature. All photos are from the 12/3/09 show.

Sets varied each night and material ranged from songs from their latest album "Joy" to rarities from the past.

They're now veterans of arena shows and can fill every inch with light and sound.
