I had the amazing opportunity to get an all access pass to follow and photograph the Zac Brown Band, during their show here in Atlanta on New Years Eve. The concert was held at Phillips Arena, downtown in a sold out venue, which adds an extra energy. All of the other artist who preform under Zac Brown’s record label (Southern Ground Records) had a chance to preform before Zac came out to rock the house down. All the openers were fantastic, The Wood Brother, Sonia Leigh, and Levi Lowery, just to name a few. The crowd was well warmed up by the time Zac came out to put on a great show. He played up until Midnight, when he did a countdown in front of a big screen with the NYC ball drop. After the confetti finished falling from the ceiling, Zac continued to play a handful of songs. They finished on a loud, high energy note playing Rage Against  the Machine’s, “Killing in The Name Of” It was a great show, with an amazing atmosphere. Here are just a few images from that night. Enjoy.

Today I was lucky to be in the presence of musical greatness. George Hughley with Johnny & The Lakewood 5 featuring Freddy Terrell. is a local band led by front man Johnny McGowan of (Grinder Nova). Along with some other local talent and two veterans from the classic soul / r’n b music scene in Atlanta, George and Freddy, the band recorded two tracks at Bakos Amp Works – “Home of the Ponce De Leon sound”. Each musician took turns laying down their own tracks and the end result was quite impressive. I was asked by Johnny to come photograph history in the making. I had a great time and cant wait to work with this very talented group in the near future.

More Grinder Nova after the jump…
