Dave Matthews Band Concert Riverbend Music Center 2019

Dave Matthews Band 2019 version played another sold-out concert at Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center. As a long-time fan, this show was awesome. It was so great to be able to photograph it as well! It is so cool being a concert photographer!

I have been a loyal fan for 21 years and try not to miss a local appearance.  Never did I think I’d get to photograph the band, and here I am photographing them for the second time.  I always take 15-30 seconds, put my camera down, and remember how lucky I am to do what I do.  Knowing DMB’s catalog inside and out allows me to anticipate the members’ moves and positions.  I can then place myself in the most likely spot in front of the stage.  As they reach the spot in the song, Dave breaks into dancing, and I am there to capture it.  Success!

Will Dave Matthews Band 2019 be the last time I photograph them?  We’ll see!  I have a good relationship with my publication, the band’s publicist, and the local concert venues.  With concert photography, maintaining relationships is essential, even though I work for free.  Here’s to another great concert season!  Thanks, DMB.
