Tonight, I shot the final rehearsal of Primal Twang. This show is a theatrical presentation of the history of the guitar.
As it's late, all I did to these was resize them; no other processing was done:
This is Grammy Winner Eric Johnson. The screen behind him (and above him) is a movie screen onto which the performances are projected, so people in the cheap seats can see 'em:

Country/Rock guitarist Albert Lee who spent a long time playing with Emmy Lou Harris:

I'm fortunate to be good friends with this guy, Doyle Dykes. He's someone you may never have heard of, but have certainly heard. If you've been to either Disneyland or Disney World, and have enjoyed the music playing in the "Country Bear Jamboree" part of the park, you've heard Doyle play. Someone once asked Chet Atkins who he would pay to see. He had only one name on his list, Doyle Dykes:

All shots were taken with the 20D and 70-200mm f/2.8L, ISO 1600. All were shot in manual. Shutter speeds varied between 1/100 and 1/320 (man, I love good lighting!).
This show is being presented in the Birch North Park Theatre (http://www.northparktheatre.com/), which was first built in 1928. Two years ago, some private funding kept it from the wrecking ball, and it's now a gem of a theatre.
All of the featured artists are completely cool with photography, which is good, because there's no two or three song limit to contend with. As a result, I shot 513 images tonight. I'll be shooting shows over the next four days...
