This past Friday, I headed out to catch the Round 2 Finals for LiVE 88.5‘s Big Money Shot. All 5 bands were new to me, so I didn’t really know what to expect. It was an evening of good music. But at the end of the night, one band stood out on top for me. So much so, that I had to buy their CD before I left. The Balconies put on a stellar show. Top notch musicians and an energetic stage show. I can’t wait to see them again in the finals. I hope I captured the energy of their set in my photographs. Having seen them perform once and now familiar with their songs, I am looking forward to a second chance to photograph them. I highly recommend their CD.

Check back for the rest of the bands this week.
