Show Review: Reckless Kelly at Birchmere

September 14, 2022September 14, 2022Glenn Cook0

Show Review: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss at Merriweather

June 29, 2022June 29, 2022Glenn Cook2

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss at Merriweather June 2022   Robert Plant moved away from the spectacle that was Led Zeppelin years ago, using his solo career to dabble rockabilly and Americana as much as rock and roll. But the classic rock icon found his greatest post-Zeppelin success in an unlikely collaborator: bluegrass legend Alison […]

May 12, 2022May 13, 2022Glenn Cook2

Jason Isbell at Red Rocks with Waxahatchee Several years ago, as our kids started to leave the nest, my wife and I began to look at life’s next chapter. We knew we wanted to downsize and leave the suburbs. We knew we wanted to travel. And I knew I wanted to see — and photograph […]
