First off let me start off but apologizing for not stressing that fact that you guys
NEEDED to be present at this event! I was personally invited to take some candid
"behind the music" shots and do an interview on the
Electro-Funk sensation group
Navegante' and
BOY am I glad I jumped at the opportunity! For two reasons, one I'm a
HUGE fan of live shows especially if the band(s) performing are masters of their craft, and have developed both a stage presence and rapport with their audience. Secondly, as you know
DAMN well I'm dead serious about my camera game! So this was the
PERFECT op to flex my
"artistic muscle" and give my
T2I a good work out. On this particular night I showed up to
Santos early and was greeted by the lead vocalist (
Jean Shepard) who was both stressed and excited at the same time. Basically because the day wasn't going as planned however he had news that his wife maybe getting her own reality cooking show (!) so his mood was understandable.
"Wash" (short for
Washington Duke) arrived soon after due to a earlier
"towing related incident", but was already in work mode.
YES, life as a rock star isn't all limos and groupies folks! Anyways here's some top to bottom flicks from set up to show I shot of them doing their
THANG! DAMN, I'm mad that you missed this
, the show was pure
AWESOMNESS! The music, the light show, the energy in the
room...I gotta catch another show...like
SOON! And
YOU better go this time! You've been warned!
S/O* to
Chelsea Dwinell (aka C.Diddy/DJ James Blonde of
Ultraviolet) for setting this in motion, and to
Sound Wavve for the dope musical prelude before the show kicked off. Different ish folks!
