Justin Driscoll

Hello, my name is Justin Driscoll. Originally from New Jersey, I call the wonderful state of North Carolina home. I might have taken your photo at some point or met you at a Rock N Roll show? However, I also have many other facets of my life I am passionate about. I started this site to talk about some of those things. Whether it be guitars, guitar gear, Harley's, Jeep stuff, photography, vinyl or travels, I'll be on here to chat about it. Stay Weird, Stay Creative!

Recycled Air – Airplane Graveyard

JD Blog / By

After I shot these photos I thought back to 2010 – a time before the height of Instagram. I was obsessed with lightly-trespassing in hundreds of abandoned structures. Nothing was ever removed and most importantly, nothing was geo-tagged. For the sake of anonymity, the location will remain up to you to find out. I was however tipped off by a fellow brother about this location. I find myself in airports a few times a month. […]

Tim Barry – The Milestone – Charlotte, NC – Sept 7, 2024

JD Blog / By / , , , , ,

The journey has been amazing – I first met Tim in 1998 at Tremont Music Hall, while he was belting out punk rock anthems for the legendary AVAIL. Years after I found out Tim traded in the punk rock chaos for an acoustic guitar and heartfelt anthems. The SOLD OUT show followed the same honest format I expected. Tim showed up with only a backpack and guitar – explaining he had just completed a 4-day relaxing stint in the

I had the pleasure of working with Farshid and co at UMI in ATL! I’ve not been since covid and was happy to see the crew – still thriving and always exceeding expectations!  Located in Atlanta’s bustling Buckhead neighborhood, Umi unites classic along with modern Japanese flavors in a sophisticated, contemporary setting. Mixologist and barkeep Jame Snug served up some of the finest cocktails. While their menu showcases the freshest fish from the world’s finest markets and

Lucero at The Underground Fillmore 06-18-24 – Charlotte

JD Blog / By / , , ,

Long overdue! The last time I saw the Lucero boys was the week before Covid shut down the world. The band ran through a quick set while supporting The Menzingers Wednesday at The Underground Fillmore (set list below). Post show I got to briefly catch up with Mr. Brian Venable (guitar). We chatted about vinyl records with my very good friend Sean. I had a 2015 Sailor Jerry 7″ promo of “All Sewn Up” handy.

Cosmic Reaper at The Rabbit Hole 06.07.2024

JD Blog / By / , , , ,

I have a special affinity for these dudes. I literally got to witness this band form and mold into the cohesive doom unit you see today! Garrett and I were neighbors and close friends. The Cosmic Reaper dudes needed some press photos and a place to practice. Every Wednesday night they set up shop in my photo studio and hammered out the tunes you hear today. Twas’ great to see them live in action at

Rock N’ Roll Shirt Hoarders – Volume One (1991 – 2011)

JD Blog / By / , , , , , ,

My one daughter yelled from the storage room “Hey dad, there’s 2 more boxes back here!!” – bringing the total to 8 bins. As I gazed out over the floor covered in shirts my other daughter said “Dad, you look really deep in thought. What are going to do with all of these?” I knew there were a lot but I had not placed my eyes on some of these in a decade. The sad

Nashville, widely known as Music City–and for good reason. I didn’t try the hot chicken but it did find a White Castle! But seriously, if you’re a musician or enjoy live music, get here! The Gibson Garage – Arguably the most iconic guitar brand in rock ‘n’ roll are still handmade in Nashville. The Gibson Garage has every color, make, model and configuration you can think of.

BJ Barham – The Evening Muse – 04.24.2024

JD Blog / By / , , , ,

BJ is no stranger to openly admitting his life’s trials and growth. I’ve had the pleasure of considering him a friend for some time now – and can also closely relate to the transition from Rock N’ Roll Touring Musician to full-time Father. His solo shows are something special. It’s more like “Rock N Roll Story time” with songs. The shows at The Muse are also a bit more intimate. A club that gave American

The ‘BoogieWoman’ Guitar & Rig Rundown with Adam Tanbouz – He is Legend

JD Blog / By / , , , , , , ,

Last week I took a beach trip down to Wilmington, NC for some riffs and a rig run down with Mr. Adam Tanbouz, lead guitarist of the infamous He Is Legend. I’m a gear nerd but Adam blew my mind with his meticulous intricacies. Every guitar setup, album recording and live show – years of a man truly perfecting the craft! Most of our conversation centered around overall tone… clean tones with a dash of
