In October 2021 The Chicks (formerly Dixie Chicks) put on a very energetic show to a sold-out crowd at Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center. October is late for an outdoor show, so everyone was in jackets which was weird but still fun. COVID-19 canceled the original show schedule for one of the hottest days of the year in July, was canceled. I was thankful because it was way too hot to be seeing an outdoor show. Emily, Marty, and Natalie played a long concert filled with their best hits. It was the best I’ve seen them out of the 5 times so far. Is was such an honor to photograph the Chicks Concert in Cincinnati 2021.
I was on assignment from Cincinnati CityBeat, one of two publications I shoot for. Each time I get a media pass or photo pass, I am thankful. No matter the show, big or small, I take a moment to realize how lucky I am to capture these amazing artists as they play for thousands of people. Certain shows such as this, carry more meaning because I have been a lifelong fan. The same goes for Dave Matthews Band and Metallica, both of which I photographed.
It is such an honor to be a concert photographer in Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus.
