Iron & Wine at Orlando Calling 11/12/11 (Photos)
My camera has a love affair with Iron & Wine. Perhaps the more a performance inspires me, the better the pictures turn out. Sam Beam is brilliant live. Their set could be described as: clever, stoic, risqué, rich, fluid, and thought-provoking. New album, Kiss Each Other Clean, in stores now –http://wbr.fm/keocitunes Websites http://www.ironandwine.com http://www.playedlastnight.com http://www.youtube.com/ironandwine http://www.twitter.com/ironandwine http://www.passingafternoon.com

Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas Play at Orlando Calling Festival 11/12/11 (Photos)
Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas traveled from Detroit to play at the Orlando Calling festival last weekend. The group put on a vibrant performance that generated a lot of positive buzz throughout the festival. Local Detroiters can find the group performing at various venues around the city. One of the best places to see them perform is at The Bakery Loft above The Mexicantown bakery. Jessica’s family owns both Armando’s Mexican Restaurant and The Mexicantown Bakery. Another interesting fact about Jessica is that she makes her own performance outfits! http://Jessicahernandez.net http://twitter.com/#!/DetroitJess http://myspace.com/jhernandezmusick http://jessicahernandezthedeltas.bandcam… http://artistdata.sonicbids.com/jessica-… http://www.purevolume.com/JessicaHernandez http://www.reverbnation.com/jessicaherna… Here are a few bonus pictures from Jessica’s performance at the Detroit Music Awards!

Manchester Orchestra at Clutch Cargo’s (Review & Photos) 11/8/11
Members Andy Hull Chris Freeman Jonathan Corley Robert McDowell Tim Very http://www.themanchesterorchestra.com http://www.twitter.com/manchesterorch http://www.favoritegentlemen.com Manchester Orchestra’s performance at Clutch Cargo’s was one of the year’s best. The intimate venue was packed full of fans that knew every word to each song. Andy Hull’s signature voice was in top form as he incited fans to crowd surf during heavier songs, and sing, sway and raise their lighters during the more mellow tunes. “Virgin” and “The River” were highlights from the night. I still can’t seem to stop humming the forlorn lyrics “I’m going to leave you the first chance I get.”

Hallowicked at the Fillmore in Detroit with Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, & Blaze (Photos & Review)
Every Halloween Juggalos and Juggalettes take over the streets of Detroit. This year’s Hallowicked was bigger and better than ever. ICP, Twiztid, and Blaze all performed as headliners, and Big Hutch opened. Painstaking care was taken with the stage setup and lighting. Each lightbulb on the giant ICP sign had to be screwed in individually. Also, check out the fresh candy-colored lighting for ICP’s set. I had about two minutes to snap photos during the ICP set before the Faygo was flowing. After the concert, there was an after party at St. Andrew’s. As usual, ICP goes above and beyond for their fans. Thanks Psychopathic Records for all your hard…
