On October 29th, 2023- Motionless in White made their last stop at MGM Music Hall in Boston Massachusetts to close out their "Touring The End Of The World Tour".

On September 24th, I saw I SEE STARS, ERRA, and Bad Omens at KEMBA LIVE in Columbus, Ohio.

August 18th, 2023 — Blessthefall brought their Ten Year Hollow Bodies tour to Irving Plaza, NYC. To celebrate the ten year anniversary of their fourth released album Hollow Bodies. The band enlisted Dragged Under, Kingdom of Giants, and Caskets as support for this tour.

The Creative Control Tour was something I’ve needed for years and never realized it.

On May 26th and 27th, I got to see many amazing bands at Sonic Temple Festival. During the festival I had many amazing opportunities, these opportunities allowed me to be really close to some bands and to take some photos for them.

Imagine if, by clicking your Vans together three times, you could transport back in time to a stripped-down, acoustic set at Warped Tour - now that would be a concert experience worth traveling for!

Before I get into any details about this concert, this was my first metal concert I have ever been to. My dad took me to see Motionless In White, Ice Nine Kills, and Black Veil Brides for the first time April 27th 2022 in Norfolk Va for a late birthday gift. The second time I went was September 7th 2022 at Jacobs Pavilion in Cleveland Ohio.

I guess it’s my turn for one of my Tales From The Pit, for this round I’m going with The Acacia Strain. Now imagine, the room is raging in the pit and going harder than ever because let’s face it, its a hardcore metal show. CHAOS! I was there to photograph Kublai Khan for a previous magazine Give Me a Try back on November 14th, 2019.

My favorite (and most unexpected) moment from the pit came at a My Chemical Romance concert at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. This show had built up anticipation since I purchased the pre-pandemic concert tickets in 2019.
