Hey Everyone. A few weeks ago, I had the supreme pleasure of photographing the Zac Brown Band and several other artists at a concert to benefit the restoration of the Georgia Theatre. This 4+ hour show was headlined by Zac Brown Band of course and they served as the “house band”, performing with other acts including Joey + Rory, Little Big Town, Kid Rock, Sonia Leigh, Nic Cowan, Levi Lowrey, and several other special guests.
The show was held at the fabulous Fox Theatre in Atlanta and I was even treated to a fantastic behind the scenes tour of the place by it’s live-in caretaker who was an incredible man and story in his own right. I’ll post some shots of him soon.
I had the full run of the place and photographed both the actual show and rehearsals. Zac and all of his band mates and crew were just fantastic and so gracious and down to earth. They’ve had one incredible year and it’s easy to see why. It’s fun to see good things happen for great artists AND great people.
My primary assignment and reason for being there was to photograph Joey + Rory during the performance. Here are some shots from their time on stage. It was great to catch up with Joey and Rory again. They have been on the road and extremely busy. While most of my time was spent shooting, we did get to have some quality “down time” after the show. We’ve also started working on images for their upcoming second album. More on that later and more from the rest of the show soon. For now, I hope you like these . . .
