DREAMERS played San Diego FM 949's Indie Jam festival this weekend. I also jumped in the pit for Sir Sly and Misterwives' sets.

Saturday night: I needed to break the monotony of visiting my regular bar and quell the restlessness from not being in L.A. for Dreamers' video shoot. I decided it'd be a refreshing change to gather the crew and wander aimlessly through the empty midnight streets of our hometown. 

I love capturing the moment when Nick is vibing with the crowd and decides to join them on the floor for a quick dance. From fans to our business teams, it's usually everyone's favorite photo. The live set, however, is only 45 minutes long. There are 23 hours and 15 minutes in the day that show-goers never experience and the touring party often forgets about after weeks on the road begin to blur together. Documenting shows is the main job of a music photographer, but preserving the times spent offstage is just as necessary -- and the part of the role I value most.

Here is an excerpt from the unseen part of DREAMERS journey through Fall 2016.
