Looking Ahead Live Music Journalism and Shows Worth Checking Out in the VT Area - Late January 2014

As a photographer I am always looking for opportunities to use my skills. The last live concert I was able to cover was in October in South Burlington also. I have a passion for most all kinds of live music that is uplifting and exciting. I have always heard the notion repeated that money follows passion, so I am striving to achieve just that. I am looking forward to covering the "jamtronica" band Particle at Higher Ground on February 6th. I will for the first time, at the show be also taking notes to write a short article on the show. My future with my media outlet Grateful Music LLC relies on the quality of this article and photo coverage, as the company needs photographers who can bring a writer with them.

As my location in Lyndon, VT limits my access to fellow jam enthusiast writers, it has made the hunt difficult. I hope to be able to build up my skills to be able to be a one man live music journalism team. The next show upcoming is the electronic/ saxophone live band Big Gigantic. I have never covered a band that incorporated computers and DJing into their live performance, so it will be an interesting experience. I am very excited to be doing any type of live music photography and I look forward to the future.

I hope to see you at a show in New England! For all the jam band fans out there, here are the dates to some upcoming shows worth checking out.
