I made this image during the ‘final show’ of the band Testify at Warp & Weft in Lowell MA. I was fighting with that spotlight behind her head all night.

Aaron Norcross, Jr. – Back Page Cafe, Lowell MA


2018 photo100 – #71

This one was captured in the now closed Back Page Cafe in Lowell in Feb. 2017. This one is a bit ‘grainier’ than I’d normally post but I like the angle and Aaron’s expression.

Thamsanqa Shabalala of Ladysmith Black Mambazo – 2018 Lowell Summer Music Series


2018 photo100 – #53

I, like most Americans, first experienced the vocal power of this group on Paul Simon’s 1986 album “Graceland”. The simple stage setup for this group, 9 microphones, belies the complexity of the harmonies and rhythms crafted by this Grammy winning ensemble.

Todd Park Mohr of Big Head Todd & The Monsters – 2018 Lowell Summer Music Series


2018 photo100 – #45

Oddly enough I didn’t find his head to be particuarly large. đŸ˜‰ I did find his guitar chops to be stellar!
