Green Day rocked the Barclay Center – Glen Matlock and Syl Sylvain played an acoustic set at City Winery – Cheap Trick and Eric Burdon played at the John Varvatos store in the former CBGB space – and Dee Snider; Barb Wire Dolls; Supla; Willie Nelson, and more!

I was asked to be on a panel about Rock Photography at the SXSW festival so I went to Austin for the first time this year. More than 2000 bands play there over 5 days, most of them more than once, so it’s a circus of music overload. If you see 10 shows a day you still miss 490! I managed to have a great time seeing mostly old friends and some new ones too.

As usual there was a lot going on in the summer with bands touring and places to go. Here’s some of the places I went.
