Sean got me in to see his band Firethorn open up for Mike Watt at the Casbah. Click on a photo to go to the full gallery.

He plays solid bass behind singer songwriters and pop-punk guitarists.

I've been digging their CD for the past couple days now. Thanks Sean!

The Bellrays sprayed loud and dirty blues all over the stage.

I stuck around for Mike Watt, but didn't shoot. I wanted to give my full attention to the music. He's got an interesting approach that I'd like to hear more of. Lots of rock guys will say they're influenced by jazz, bu they don't really mean it. For Watt though, it's the driving force behind his style. Next time he comes through town, I'll be sure to capture it.
