In December, Sam Quinn and Japan Ten played a show in Greensboro and then did a wonderful, spirited holiday style Harvey's Kitchen session at our house.  I've just come across these photos today of Sam and his 110 year old Forest Spitting Cobra and they made me laugh on a rather dreary March day.  This man and his music have brought us great joy.  If you've never listened to the Everybodyfields or heard his newest solo album then I suggest you haven't really lived.  Click away and hear the beauty.

Musicians Do It Better

Here are highlights from some of my favorite shows from the last few months. Every one of these artists is a class act and they have brought us hours of joy and inspiration.

Top to bottom:
House of Fools
Pearl and the Beard
Sam Quinn and Japan Ten
Amelia's Mechanics
Stephaniesid
Jill Andrews
Alcazar Hotel
Holy Ghost Tent Revival

All of these bands have been kind enough to grace our Kitchen for a short video session. Check them out and fall in love. More photos on flickr.

Sam Quinn and Sam Crain

These photos have been a long time coming. It's been a very busy summer full of shooting and assisting and all sorts of endeavors which resulted in a very neglected blog. So here's part 1 of summer photos with several more posts coming right up.

In July we were lucky enough to catch Samantha Crain and the Midnight Shivers and Sam Quinn and Japan Ten (yes, Sam from the Everybodyfields) at Local 506 in Chapel Hill. It was a really, really wonderful show. The kind of show that makes you feel like crying when you think about the amount of talent in the room. Both of these bands have played in our Kitchen and we hope they'll come back to town very soon. Thanks to the Sams and their respective crews for big time inspiration.

Photos of Samantha Crain's Kitchen session can be seen here. Sadly, I was not in town for Sam Quinn's session. He'll just have to come back. :)
