Endorsement-Mania!!
Once again, I had the opportunity to hang out with my son and the rest of the Joe Nichols band and crew during a recent show in Ohio. Sure, I enjoyed visiting with everyone and shooting the concert. But I was also asked to shoot a few artist endorsement photos with several of the band and crew and various pieces of gear that they use.
More Avon
When I started my last blog post “Avon Calling”, I had no idea it would end up where it did. So I ran out of room for some of the other text and images that I wanted share from Thursday night’s Joe Nichols show in Avon, Ohio. Don’t worry, this post will be like lunch the day after Thanksgiving – lots of unrelated leftovers that are still good after the main meal.
Avon Calling
OK, I’ll admit it. This is going to be another post about me and a recent Joe Nichols show. But the angle may be a little different than what you might be expecting. And of course, I’ll throw in some visuals along the way, for those who get bored with all those silly words.
10 Years & 180 Degrees… The Conclusion
This year, Father’s Day was extra-special for me. I received a gift no amount of money could ever buy. Of course, 4 years of tuition payments to Belmont University didn’t hurt.
New Gallery: Joe Nichols – Columbus, OH
Joe Nichols – Whiskey Dick’s – November, 2009 – Images by Jon Diener On a beautiful Indian Summer day in November of 2009, I made the 2.5 hr. drive to Columbus to hang with my acquaintances in the Joe Nichols entourage and shoot their live show. The venue was a small club there called Whiskey […]
On the Road: Addendum
OK, I know that in the last post, I said that was the end of the story. And quite honestly, I thought it was. Last Thursday evening, I received an email from someone asking if they could use one of my Joe Nichols photos for a magazine. They had received a link to a small […]
On the Road: Part 7
So, before we continue with the final installment of the series, let’s go back to the beginning for a second. At the end of Part 1, I outlined the all the “baby steps” I had worked out to get me from home to Fremont, Fremont to Nashville, Nashville to Minnesota, and Minnesota to Detroit. But […]
On the Road: Part 6
If you’ve been following along with the previous five installments, then you’ve heard plenty of nuts and bolts facts about places, events, and experiences. But what I’ve failed to communicate thus far, is the intangible side of things – my thoughts and feelings. After reading my posts, several friends have commented about how much fun […]
On the Road: Part 5
Showtime had arrived at the Minnesota State Fair. The seats were filling up. The weather was perfect. Chris rolled the pre-recorded audio montage opener and the band members began taking the stage. At the conclusion of the short intro piece, guitarist Dan Agee seamlessly launched into the pick-up notes for one of Joe’s signature tunes, […]
On the Road: Part 4
After arriving in Nashville on Sunday morning, Chris and I headed to Panera to get fueled up for the moving activities of the day. Then, it was off to the U-Haul facility to pick up the rental truck, where I had to endure the unpleasantness of being told I would essentially be BUYING the truck, […]
On the Road: Part 3
So the tour bus heads for Nashville from Fremont, OH – about an 8 hour drive. I hang out in the front lounge area of the bus with some of the other guys for a bit, and then head for my bunk. And by bunk, I mean a coffin with a sliding curtain on the […]
On the Road: Part 2
Well, somehow the planets all lined up, or maybe it was the ducks in a row. Whatever. I got the green light to hang with the guys from Joe’s tour. So early on the morning of August 29th, I picked up Chris at Detroit Metro. He was flying in from Philly after doing sound for […]
On the Road: Part 1
My last blog entry acknowledged the beginning of summer, and here it is Labor Day already. It’s been an ‘interesting’ summer this year – very quiet on the career front, but a fair amount of activity in my musical world. A number of gigs with Time Peace, The Homewreckers, and Epworth’s praise band have kept […]
Joe Nichols in the House (almost)
Since my son has been doing sound this summer with Universal South recording artist Joe Nichols, we were looking forward to seeing the show at the nearest venue on the tour – the Fulton County Fair in Wauseon. As it turned out, we ended up hosting an informal barbeque for the band and crew at […]
