As a professional concert photographer, I try to shoot the shows of the biggest stars in music. When I saw Celine Dion was coming to town, I decided to request the show. This October 2019 show was at U.S. Bank Center (now Heritage Bank Center) in Cincinnati, Ohio. I was shooting for one of my two publications based in Cincy.

Alan Jackson began his 2020 world tour at Cincinnati’s Heritage Bank Center on January 10, 2020. This decades-old area was formerly U.S. Bank Arena, FirstStar Center, The Crown, and Riverfront Coliseum. Steel Blossoms, a house band at Jackson’s Nashville bar opened the show was Steel Blossoms. Tenille Townes was the next opener and played a fantastic set that was lively and entertaining. Alan Jackson was amazing and came out playing to the sold-out audience. During one song, he put down the guitar to throw t-shirts to the crowd.

Slayer lit up the stage at Nationwide Arena, on November 12, 2019. This was the wildest concert I have photographed in my 5 years as a Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus concert photographer. There were numerous pyrotechnics and dozens of crowd surfers. Check out more concert photography here.

Thanks to CincyMusic.com for the access to photograph the Chicago concert at Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, Ohio! It is so cool being a concert photographer! Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s I was forced to hear bands like Chicago and Hall & Oates for years. In fact, stores and restaurants are still playing this music. Although I don’t love the music, I jumped at the chance to shoot Chicago.

George Thorogood rocked the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, Ohio in July 2018. This was such a fun concert to photograph. George played great music and came right to the cameras to perform.
