short poem #4

the pictures sent of bones in closets

the rug is coming off the floor

the clues are hitting you from your past

black top roads to memories paved

with a troubled mind to lead the way

formed with a nonsensical idea

that these things were ok

short poem #3

dirty water filling tubs with rings

sins washed out but won't go down

a clogged memory of a drain

sitting in the tepid water 

is causing me to be luke warm

"Week of Rock" at Nantahala Brewing Company

Balancing our day jobs with our night jobs with life got tricky for a week, but we lived to tell the tale. It was a great week in Bryson City. The ICF Championship took place in the Nantahala Gorge and brought people from all over the country to our area. Nantahala Brewing Company played host to the "Week of Rock"and what a week it was! Aj ran sound everyday for 9 days! I took photos since I was there. Here are some of my favorite photos from the week.

September 1 Tar and Rosin

 September 4 Sundy Best

September 5 Wyatt Espalin

September 6  The Hermit Kings

September 7  The Floorwalkers

 Hope you enjoyed! Make sure to check out these bands. Lots of talent rollin' through Bryson City.

Angela Faye Martin @ Nantahal Brewing Co.

I have combined two things I love, taking pictures and music. Now if only I could figure out how to be in two places at once and take pictures of me and Aj playing.

Angela Faye Martin is a songwriter living in Franklin, NC. I love her advant garde style of folk music. A poetic singer of haunting tunes. Here are some photos from Angela's show at the brewery in August. The show doubled as a cd release party celebrating her latest album, Anniversary.
