don't wear the gold hat

Just a few more shots from last week's Fall Mixer with @hamiltonleithauser, @kevinmorby, & @jesswilliamson at @thevicchicago. Review is up on @thirdcoastreview! (at The Vic Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWT7u_8vtbl/?utm_medium=tumblr

A storyteller through and through, @hamiltonleithauser was delightful throughout his set at the Fall Mixer. Also caught him in photographer mode, taking a shot of the crowd towards the end of the night. (at The Vic Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWOkeIyvhFM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Always a pleasure to see @kevinmorby perform in Chicago. (at The Vic Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWOiDaRvqD-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Uno más... (at Thalia Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU-H6-SLW47/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lala always impresses and I've been loving the new album. So glad I got to hear the album played in full! Plus ending the night with "Destroyer" was fantastic! (at Thalia Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU8ucZoFThr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Divino Niño is just too damn good. Haven't seen a bad set from them yet and this one was a riot. Always a good night when I get to hear "Quiero" and "Maria". (at Thalia Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU8tyyDl5h3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kara Jackson's opening spot at last week's Lala Lala release show was a perfect way to start off the night. Karen Dalton cover, amazing songs of her own, and biting humour throughout made for a great set! (at Thalia Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU8tRNMrJ24/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hard to ignore the dance vibes coming off of @arianaandtherose's excellent songs. Great opening set for the Torres show on Thursday! (at Empty Bottle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUAsrxrrfKi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Last night was a beautiful dream thanks to @torreslovesyou putting on an amazing show. (at Empty Bottle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT8HbC3lyoe/?utm_medium=tumblr

I could tell the same anecdote of how I initially heard @tomberlinnnn's amazing music for the nth time, or I can just say this was the most serene set of the weekend and my personal favorite. Coverage of all three days of Pitchfork Music Festival are now up on @thirdcoastreview! Big thanks to @andrewxlagunas, @snappy_mikeyk, and Sarah Brooks for helping get the reviews up!

Every day of this year's @pitchforkfest had fantastic openers and Special Interest were no exception. Probably the most explosive set of the weekend! (at Pitchfork Music Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT0xM1TL6n6/?utm_medium=tumblr

An honor to photograph a legend the caliber of @erykahbadu (at Pitchfork Music Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTz3yj6l-ix/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's always a good time when @angelolsenmusic is serenading a crowd. Review of day two is up at @thirdcoastreview with day three coming up later today! (at Pitchfork Music Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTzkm9eLm5P/?utm_medium=tumblr

Holy hell @bartees_strange gave one of the best sets of the fest so far. Such a great performance and perfectly set the tone for the Red stage. (at Pitchfork Music Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTu5iddlJRi/?utm_medium=tumblr

And with these @kimletgordon shots, I have now photographed the three longest tenured members of Sonic Youth. (at Pitchfork Music Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTu2IGBFWaR/?utm_medium=tumblr

You can't deny the greatness of @st_vincent. So glad I got the chance to photograph her this year! (at Pitchfork Music Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTuvcruFYP4/?utm_medium=tumblr
