Schuylar Croom – Burn All Your Rock Records – Neptunes 02.28.25

For decades I have been privy to watching my dudes in He Is Legend shred their witchy, southern Hardcore. So when the opportunity arose to photograph frontman Schuylar Croom spin a guest DJ set – I took it. Super fun night. Mr. Croom adorning a Cramps shirt, shaking and grooving – while spinning at 33 RPM. He kicked off the evening with Jim Carroll’s “People Who Died” . Might I add it was rather refreshing to see

StefTone x MojoTone – Around The Super Strat

My first venture outside Les Paul’s & Offsets. Behold the SC-20 (MH style) LTD. I swapped out the ESP stock pups for MoJo Tone Magnum 44 & 58’ Quiet Coil (bridge) in the neck position.

Was fortunate to track a few records with him at The Basement Studio in Rural Hall, NC. This particular record turned a lot of heads upon its highly anticipated release.

Albertine is the fourth concept and sixth eatery for the Davidson-based culinary power couple. Their eponymous Kindred, the wildly successful Davidson neighborhood haunt, debuted 10 years ago. Hello, Sailor in Cornelius, a nod to Carolina fish camps, followed in 2017. Next came Milkbread, a casual café with three locations — including one adjacent to Albertine. Check out the full

Tale of the plate: Okonomiyaki – Dozo

Great food doesn’t have to be predictable. Boundaries are meant to be pushed, flavors are meant to be fused, and it’s OK to sometimes break from tradition. In fact, in the heart of Charlotte, that kind of thinking is celebrated. And it’s why chefs Perry Saito and John Gamble are building a partnership at the intersection of Japanese and American cultures to bring something new to the city’s dining scene with DOZO.

I am a gear nerd through and through. I enjoy collecting vinyl and tinkering with all sorts of guitar equipment.

This site is dedicated to what I’ve been up to. Cheers!
