Music in the Streets
No matter where you go in the world, when you travel into a metropolitan area you will probably find a street musician to serenade you with a song for your day. Most are working for tips or a chance to sell their latest CD. A small tip of paper money will surely get you a smile or a wink of "Thanks!". A face, interesting clothes, a musical instrument and a bustling city street create one of those great natural studios!

An Evening with the North Mississipi Allstars
The Neighborhood Theatre http://www.neighborhoodtheatre.com/ located in the funky arts district of NODA http://www.noda.org/ of Charlotte, NC http://charmeck.org/Pages/default.aspx continues to impress with great music acts at some of the most reasonable ticket prices around. I went to see the North Mississipi Allstars http://www.nmallstars.com/ put on one of their fun jamming shows and they proceeded to blow away the audience.
The band is composed of brothers Luther Dickson on guitar, Cody Dickson playing drums and bassist Chris Chew. The trio have been playing their rootsey blues themed music together since 1996. All three of the musicians have had side projects since forming the North Mississipi Allstars. Most notably, Luther has been playing lead guitar for the Black Crowes while Cody and Chris are part of the Hill Country Revue. Luther and Cody are sons of the late legendary Memphis music producer Jim Dickinson. Jim Dickson introduced his sons to the sounds of country blues at a young age and the Memphis blues influence is present in many of their songs. The band's most recent album, Keys to the Kingdom http://www.amazon.com/Keys-Kingdom-North-Mississippi-Allstars/dp/B004GX18OO is a tribute to Jim Dickson.

Album Cover Work
I got a call from our friend Jeff asking for an "album cover" photo session. Jeff and his friend Todd play acoustic guitar gigs and needed some photos to use on their posters. The posters would be used at clubs and bars advertising their gigs. I love photographing musicians and album cover art always inspires me, so this was right up my alley.
Jeff and Todd wanted to get a selection of images with them in an outdoor casual and relaxed atmosphere. We took the photos as the September sun was about to set, giving us a beautiful warm light. Perfect for some great natural light portraits. There was no need to break out any strobes or flashes for this session, the setting sun was all we needed.
You can see Jeff and Todd Acoustic play at Harvey's Bar and Grill in Huntersville ( http://www.harveysinhuntersville.com/ ) on October 28. C'mon out if you like great music and fun times.
