I’ve followed this band for a few years- ever since I discovered them via… Soundcloud, or… some obscure Facebook ad. Their music was love at first listen, and they continue to pump out tracks that give me all the feels. I’m honored to call the gentlemen and lady of Handsome Ghost my friends, and it was a pleasure to finally tour with them! I joined for about 10 days this fall in support of the Melanie Martinez #CryBabyTour, covering shows from NYC to OKC. Below are some of my favorite captures from my time on the road with this band.
Check out one of my faves off their latest EP while you scroll:

Mad Manhattan is the new project of a good friend and very talented musician, Jon King. (This guy of multiple talents also designed my current portfolio website!) I hung out for one of their band practices to get some shots as they move toward preparing the record. Check out the first single “Shadow Talk” on their Facebook Page. Members pictured are Jonathan King (vocals, guitar), Jeremy Irons (keys), Cody Bass (drums), and Carlton Dorsey (bass).
