Baltimore art rock/experimental band Ponytail performing at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago. While the fans went crazy and the set was highly reviewed, the music wasn't quite my style. The group's antics made for some good shots though. The bottom shot of lead singer Molly Siegel was published on the front of the Chicago Tribune's Live section Monday, July 20. Shot Saturday, July 18, 2009.
Peter Silberman, lead singer and guitarist for New York indie band, The Antlers. Shot on the second day of the Pitchfork Music Festival, they were the first band I really enjoyed. They are full of emotion and connect comfortably with their audience. Shot July 18, 2009.
