As ridiculous as it sounds, I became bored with interviewing bands towards the end of my radio career in 2006. Soon after I departed the radio world, I found myself surrounded by measuring spoons, chicken stock and I developed a slight obsession with Japanese Chef Knives. I’ll quickly and vaguely gloss over the minor detail of nearly meeting my maker after owning two restaurants and bring it back around to dabbling in the music business, once again. The radio days were 99.5% (insert rolling eyes emoji here) audio, this go around, the visual medium of concert photography. Local, national, rock, country or blue grass trip-hop, it doesn’t matter; if it’s on a stage, I Go Click.
