If you were ever wondering if you needed to see The Toxhards live, the answer is yes.  And if you were ever wondering if you need an exclusive signed mini mag with a full break down of ‘Your Neighborhood,’ the answer is also yes.  Don’t wait. After May 3 the one-of-one golden Aengus in the West trading card will no longer be available ever again. 👉🐽: melodicmag.com/shop 📸: Matt Gromley @shootdayone

04.24.2026 // The Toxhards at Hawthorne Lounge, for Melodic Magazine @thetoxhards @hawthornetheatrepdx @melodicmag I’m driving home from this show, having just seen The Toxhards open their Get Destructive Tour to a sold out crowd at Hawthorne Lounge in Portland, Oregon and…friends, do you ever leave a show and think – “What the fu** did I just watch?” Well, what I watched was magical. More than just songs, the band put on a 2 hour show that had costumes, skits, cover songs, instrument swaps, Ængus, the Prize Winning Hog, they even invited a fan up to play bass (pic in the carousel!) It’s more than their incredibly catchy music, it’s a performance, it’s theater, it’s art. A Toxhards show is a gift that should be seen. They’re an incredible band and more people need to see them. You can read my full show review on Melodic Magazine’s website, and be sure to to check their tour dates for when The Toxhards come through Your Neighborhood (IYKYK). #thetoxhards #portlandmusic #concertphotos

Happy @bad_operation album release day to all who celebrate. They just put out their sophomore release and this band doesn’t miss. You know how sometimes you hear an album and early on know it’ll be a contender for your album of the year? “Everything Must Go” is that album for me. It’s catchy, it’s fun, it’s powerful. Go grab it from @badtimerec / @communityrecords and give it a spin! It was such a pleasure to see them and photograph their set when they came through Portland last month on the Bad Time Records Tour. More dates are coming up, go see the tour if is coming to your town. Thanks for the tunes, gents. Just like the first album and the Wavebreaker EP - 10/10 #badoperation #newtone #skanowmorethanever

03.14.2026 // Bad Time Records Tour at Polaris Hall, featuring @jer.band @killlincolndc @bad_operation @sorrysweetheart_official @badtimerec I’m a little late but I had an incredible time at the Bad Time Records Tour when they came to Portland this past week and sold out @polarishallpdx . Seeing artists I’ve admired for years and getting to photograph them was really something special. Really appreciate @pleasetagmeinyourskaposts for allowing me to document the show as a local photographer. What a thrill, thank you and the bands so much. If the tour is coming through your town, don’t skip out. It’s such a great time. You’ll sing and dance the night away. If you’re unfamiliar with the bands, I can’t recommend them enough. I’ll probably post more photos soon but it’s been a crazy busy week. Ska now more than ever #badtimerecords #newtone #skanowmorethanever #portland #concertphotos

02.19.2026 // Lola Kirke at Mississippi Studios, Portland, OR @lolakirke @mississippistudios Had the pleasure of being invited to photograph Lola Kirke when she came through Portland last week. Thanks so much for having me out! I got a little experimental with some slow shutters. Be sure to see Lola when she comes through your town and check out her book, Wild West Village. #lolakirke #canonr6markⅱ #portland #concertphotos #trailblazer

I keep trying to make a post about 2025 and moving into 2026, but social media makes me feel so anxious. Add onto that 2 crazy but wonderful kids, one sick dog and whole bunch of other noise, and I just haven’t been able to do it. So here’s a new pic instead of a recap and a bunch of thank yous that simply aren’t enough. 2025 was a tough year professionally, but I’m thankful for everyone who has trusted me as a camera assistant, gimbal tech, or editor throughout the year. I hope to collaborate with more folk in the new year. 2025 was also the year I dove deeper into concert photography, and pushing myself to do more photography in general. I am shocked and amazed at the bands I’ve been so fortunate to take pictures of this year. Huge thank you’s to @helpifuckingneedit @amusementpdx @theshitfits @1876band @galacticnorcinerator @smokingpopesmusic @stinkbug.pdx @jade_dust @nolightsband @offbookpod @clarity.pdx @cranefistridersclub @triplelutzband and so many more. Also really thankful for @jeredscott for his mentorship and belief in me, and for @melodicmag for taking a chance on me. There are more people to thank than I have space for. I truly appreciate anyone who has worked with me, encouraged me or let me photograph them. It means so much to my anxiety-riddled self. 2025 was a tough but also creatively fulfilling year. I hope to push myself further in 2026. I’d love to collaborate with you, if you’re still reading this. Photo, video, music, whatever. Please get in touch and let’s create together.

11.01.2025 // OffBook Pod Live at Revolution Hall Had the pleasure of taking photos when @offbookpod came through Portland last week for their sold out show at Revolution Hall! I’m a big fan of the work Jess, Zach and Scott do on Dropout and on their podcast so this was a thrill for me to watch them fully improvise a musical about mythical monsters and Greek gods. They have more dates coming up so if you can get tickets, grab ‘em now! Thanks again for having me out, @offbookpod ! @zachreino @jessjessmckenna @scottpassarella @kylestebbins @revolutionhall #comedy #offbook #offbookpod #zachreino #jessmckenna #dropout #dropouttv #improv #improvmusical #portland #revolutionhall #portlandcomedy
