Bacon Brothers @ Rams Head On Stage

On Saturday, April 5th, 2008, the Bacon Brothers performed in Annapolis at Rams Head On Stage. The Bacon Brothers is comprised of actor Kevin Bacon and brother Michael, nine years his senior. The brothers, who have released five records, were accompanied by four backup musicians who were introduced as the Bacon Brothers Band. This was my first time to see them perform, to photograph them, and to hear their music. I was able to capture the following photographs within the first three songs as per the usual policy for concert photographers.

The venue lighting was subdued and the band was painted in yellow and red lighting from the first song to the last. The intimate size of the venue, at 250 seats, allowed me to photograph from the perimeter of the room. While the lighting offered tough shooting conditions, the music was very enjoyable and fun and the audience loved the performance.
