After meet­ing the folks from East of 8th blog at the Apache Relay show ear­li­er this year, I’ve col­lab­o­rat­ed with them by pro­vid­ing pho­tos from four High Watt shows. I also real­ized I haven’t post­ed any of the work on my site, so here are recaps from each of the shows!

Christo­pher Porter­field with Field Report is the new king of singer/songwriter Amer­i­cana in my mind (although he’d prob­a­bly decline the throne and insist he’d be the court jok­er instead). Joe Pug brought a high ener­gy show — with tight ban­ter, smart songs and a stun­ning set of back­ing musi­cians. Both acts are well worth see­ing — def­i­nite­ly check them out.
