Cotton Mill Live: Lizzy Ross - "Summer Skin" (Video)

A few weeks ago, I lent a hand (and camera) to my friends over at Cotton Mill Live again for one of their live music video shoots (this being the second time I've worked with them). Here is an edit from the night featuring Nashville newcomer via North Carolina, Lizzy Ross, performing her song "Summer Skin". This one of 9 songs that we filmed that evening. She put on an excellent performance and it was great meeting her and having the opportunity to help film such a talented artist.

About Cotton Mill Live:

Cotton Mill Live has very simple and few goals; gather friends and support a budding talent. With the amount of artistry Nashville has to offer, Cotton Mill Live allows friends, family and the public to catch a glimpse of just how special Nashville can be. With one band chosen every month, the business owners dress the band, film the show one song at a time, interview the members afterward and then release the edited footage to the general public via Facebook, website and most importantly our own YouTube channel. 

The monthly event is held at Cotton Mill Studio,  a creative living space for Hello Boy’s men’s clothing store owners, Gavin O’Neill and Jeremy Ryan Hatfield. It is locate in East Nashville

THE BOOM BAP Feat. SKEME RICHARDS | 06.22.2013 (Video)

Last month, I was asked by the fine folks over at The Boom Bap to come out and shoot a recap video for the event...I gladly obliged.

For those of you not in the know...The Boom Bap is a Hip-Hop dance party held at The 5 Spot in East Nashville the fourth Saturday of every month. I have been attending these events for quite some time now and can honestly say it is the most hype party in town celebrating Hip-Hop music/culture and showcasing skillful turntablism. The resident DJs (DJ Rate, Case Bloom and Bowls) spin a wide variety of mostly pre-2000 classic hip-hop records that always whip the crowd in a frenzy. Furthermore, they frequently bring in guest DJs from out of town to rip up the decks as well. For this edition, we got to witness Skeme Richards bring the heat, he straight killed it...such an epic night as always!! I'd say it is pretty much impossible to walk into any Boom Bap party and NOT have a great time...these guys always come correct!

I thank them for the opportunity to document this killer party and hope to do it again sometime soon!

Check out the video recap below and also photos from the night by Mike Chow and Kelly Hite.

Video: Three 6 Mafia Returns to Nashville

via Break On A Cloud

Just wanted to check in and share some of the interview/live footage that Matt Miller (MM Films) and I shot at the Three 6 Mafia block party performance in Nashville! via Break On A Cloud...excellent edit by Matt Miller!!

Shot with: Canon T2i w/50mm f1.8 and a 60d w/18-135mm



Here's the skinny from Rob @breakonacloud:

"Three 6 Mafia recently returned to their home-state of Tennessee completely invading the City of Nashville by shutting down an entire block with thousands of fans. During their visit, BreakonaCloud.com chopped it up with Three 6 Mafia and Young Buck where we briefly discussed the forthcoming “Laws of Powers” album, the assigning of production duties, and Juicy’s relationship with Lex Luger."

FWIW...our above video was the most watched on RapHD.com today!!!

Pixel Post: The 2011 East Nashville Tomato Art Fest

Hey Hey,

Gonna try to start making "pixel posts" on here to document recent events and such that I shoot photos for from time to time. They will usually link to a facebook photo album or a Flickr set.

The following are pics and candid shots from around the Tomato Art Fest, which is held annually in East Nashville...it's a great event that builds this eclectic east-side community and celebrates that beloved fruit/vegetable! Had a blast out there this year with friends and got plenty of "interesting" pics throughout the day:)

Check out the full album on my facebook page.
