Music and Travel
Could I have ever imagined to have an opportunity to photograph the recording and mixing sessions at the Abbey Road Studio 3?
It was an absolutely incredible experience, can’t be compared to anything else.Not only the studio is great but the music recorded and people are amazing too. Can’t wait to hear the final tracks. It should be something beautiful and special.
Many thanks to Sage for letting me be the part of this experience. 🙂
In loving memory of Marty Sammon…

Absolutely beautiful and magical concerts in the memory of one of the greatest guitarists Jeff Beck at the Royal Albert Hall! I was literally laughing and crying during the show as it was very emotional, thanks to the amazing artists Eric Clapton, Doyle Bramhall, Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart, Gary Clark Jr, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Billy F Gibbons, Imelda May, John McLaughlin, Robert Randolph, Joss Stone, Olivia Safe, Kirk Hammett, Johnny Depp, Rhonda Smith, Anika Nilles and Robert Stevenson! Great lineup and setlist featuring different eras of Jeff Beck’s music.

At the beginning of the show two Yardbirds hits “Shapes of Things” and “Heart full of Sould” were played by Eric Clapton, Doyle Bramhall and the band. Clapton then welcomed Derek Trucks and Susan Tedesxhi to the stage.
Joss Stone performing “I put a spell on you”.
During Rod Stewart’s set at the May 22 tribute concert, he said, “I never thought I’d be here playing a concert in tribute to my dear old pal, Jeff Beck.” He started his set with “Infatuation,” his 1984 hit that featured Beck on guitar.
After introducing Gary Clark Jr., Rode joked “I’ve never seen so many guitars in my life”.
Eric Clapton then sang “Going Down”, recorded by the Jeff Back Group in 1972 as the evening’s finale.

Wish Buddy Guy and his band could have been there in person but great video tribute from the Legends, so many great memories!
Imelda May joined the lineup, which also included Johnny Depp, to sing “Remember (Walking in the Sand)” which she and Jeff Beck performed many times.
Other career-spanning repertoire included “Freeway Jam”, so closely associated with Jeff Beck’s 1977 live album with the Jan Hammer Group. Beck was touring with ZZ Top quite frequently. On this night, the band’s Billy Gibbons performed “Rough Boy”, which they had played together many times.

If you have never heard of Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials, I would highly recommend to check them out! They are not only playing the blues but living the blues. Their live shows are full of energy, joy and electrifying sound. They are performing everywhere around the USA and worldwide, but I have seen them in their hometown Chicago at Buddy Guy’s Legends. It was a night full of smiles, great music and fun! I really hope to see them again!
I was very lucky to see Mike Ross and the band as a part of the British Blues Invasion festival in Moscow. Mike has his own unique style which combines blues rock, psychedelic rock, delta blues, Chicago style blues. His live shows are really worth to experience, because they are filled with unique music, powerful voice, virtuosic guitar playing, great sound quality and charismatic performance. Mike takes listeners on a detailed history tour of incredible music beginning in the Mississippi Delta at the beginning of the 20th century and finishing up right back in the present moment.

Mike has been working with many musicians including Black Crowes founder Rich Robinson and country legend Steve Earle. His own albums sound really fantastic and inspiring, it’s absolutely necessary to check them out for every fan of great unique and stylish music.
