I have been a Weezer fan for as long as I can remember. When it comes to ranking my favorite bands, they come second only to The Beatles.

I had no idea just how much one Weezer concert would change my life.

On October 11th, the Utah First Amphitheatre was treated to night one of three shows by Imagine Dragons.

More specifically Provo, Utah often performing at Velour Live Music Gallery. From that time on, Utah has been an area that has been most loyal to Imagine Dragons. Hence the multi-show residency.

Last Monday, LA punk band FIDLAR made a stop in Salt Lake on their US fall tour! They played at The Complex, to a small crowd who were about to get really rowdy! Fidlar has been on my list of bands to see this year, and I knew their energy would make for some great moments to capture. Lighting isn’t always on my side, so I had to get creative and get shots that really encapsulated the vibes of the show and the room! There were about 800 people, with still enough space to push each other around for constant moshing. I was glad to be up high from a safe distance in order to get these photos.
