- [Maria Somerville at The Green Room](https://www.snapshotsandsounds.com/maria-somerville-the-green-room.md) - Luster (Remixes) by Maria Somerville Green Room had a new layout for this one — they opened up more floor space for a bigger standing crowd and it was a great call. Somerville had her full band with her and the whole set had this dark, enveloping quality to it — shoegaze and hypnotic drone filling…

After last month's weather cancellation left me hanging, I was way overdue for a JB night, and he and Dan did not disappoint. The crowd, the 45s, the energy – everything locked in perfectly. I even dusted off the flash for this…

- [Iron Mic Coalition at The Green Room](https://www.snapshotsandsounds.com/iron-mic-coalition-the-green-room-2.md) - Not my first time photographing IMC and it won't be my last. The Green Room was standing room only and for good reason — this is Memphis hip hop at its finest. Underground boom bap, golden era energy, a collective that has been doing it right since 2004. As I always say there is no better thing to…

- [The Pharcyde at Mempho Music Festival](https://www.snapshotsandsounds.com/the-pharcyde-mempho-music-festival.md) - For my money there is no better band at a festival than a pass-the-mic hip-hop group, and the perfect example of that is The Pharcyde Saturday night at Mempho Fest. Like a lot of people I came into Pharcyde with "Passin' Me By" but stayed with them as their first two albums were hip-hop classics. I…

In fact he is currently #8. So going into his set at Mempho Fest this year I knew what to expect musically. However I have never seen him live so what blew me away during this set is…

The Stage Names is still one of my favorite albums of all time. I think its funny here these shots are mostly out of focus. 18 years ago Sean didn't have the steady hands I have now.
