Questions For The Photographer-

What makes this country band special, and what stood out in the photos?

“When I tell people about this band, I say they sounded to me like a real country band, not country rock, not new country, but REAL COUNTRY…The singers have the right sound in their voice; they have a pedal steel guitar along with electric guitars and keyboards, not to mention drums. They knew their material very well. I really enjoyed the shoot.”

Do you recommend them?

“I highly recommend this band to any venue or fan who loves country music. They got the crowd up and dancing, and that’s important in a music venue like the one they were playing in when I shot the show. Good music keeps people up there dancing, and these guys hit that mark.”
