Red Barn Studio Live Sessions | Benjamin Del Shreve

I once again had the opportunity to collaborate with local talent to create a music video for local artist and celebrity, Benjamin Del Shreve. Benjamin (who usually plays with a full band), brought technology (aka a BOSS RC-300 loop station for all you gear nerds out there), choosing to loop several instruments and vocal patterns on top of each other and then, sing along. The result was incredible and we're excited to share it with you. Once again, thanks to Jason Miller at Red Barn Studio for recording, Murray Williams of Murdog Creative for organizing, directing and producing, the video, to Bryan Fittin of 6th & Burnside for being an all-around great personality to spend the evening with and to Benjamin Del Shreve, for rocking our lenses and our faces off. Here's a few behind the scenes images along with the video. Enjoy!

** Note ** Red Barn Studio Live Sessions is a collaborative effort to promote new and existing local music talent. It is also an opportunity for creatives to have a "jam session" of their own and to contribute to a fun project. If you're a musician or group and you are completely awesome at what you do, let us know.

Red Barn Studio Live Sessions | Chanika McLelland

I recently had the opportunity to participate in a multi-camera video shoot for music artist Chanika McLelland. We all gathered at Red Barn Studio, setup multiple angles and recorded while Chanika recorded a beautiful rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide". Owner and producer Jason Miller captured some of the best sounding audio I've heard come out of a local studio and Murray Williams (Murdog Creative) produced an amazing video compiling all of the footage captured. It was a lot of fun working alongside these guys as well as Michael Drager, Bryan Fittin and Murray's son, Wyatt. Here's a few still images captured during the evening as well as a link to the final product. Enjoy!

Palmer Lee | Nashville Tennessee Music Photography

She's a singer/songwriter and she's pretty darn good at both of those. She's about to graduate from Belmont University and head out into the world of singing, writing and performing. And she's also wrapping up her debut album, which she describes as indy/country/folk. Her name is Palmer Lee and she's from right here in Rogers, Arkansas. You may have seen her on the blog before, performing live or posing with her duo counterpart. This time, the images are all her. Here's a few of my favorites. Enjoy.

The Well {FuturePast} | Northwest Arkansas Music Photography

Recently, a few area churches joined together to host a community-wide worship experience. The event, named "The Well", was launched a few years ago as a quarterly event at Fellowship Bible Church and most recently, was transitioned into a collaboration of area churches and church leaders. We were asked to document the evening, which was made up of live music, selected poetry readings, prayer and communion. Here are a few of our favorite images. Enjoy.
