Watch this space for what I learned and a roundup of some of the best photos from the run.
I hope to get some tie after the weekend and I get back to a smaller household and normal schedule.
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.

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.

Next up, Phish's three night run at Madison Square Garden. I'll be sitting about 10th row center for all three nights.
Guster played the Beacon Theatre on
11/28/09. It was the second night of a
two night run celebrating the 10 year
anniversary of their album 'Lost and
Gone Forever." They played it in
its entirety in the second set.
For the 'Lost and Gone Forever' set, the band added strings, horns and a choir from a Washington, DC school. A good time was had by all.
Both the band and the fans were into it from the first notes to the last.
