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 […]

The Fox and Falcon

JD Blog / By / , , , , ,

David Burke brings his classic New American and modern steakhouse fare to SouthPark. For years, the prominent chef and restaurateur’s desire was to open a restaurant in Charlotte, precisely in the neighborhood where The Fox & Falcon by David Burke is located. The 4,100-square-foot space in Sharon Square was given a facelift after Dogwood closed in August. Dark wood furniture and heavy beams were brightened with lighter paint, ambient lighting, and white tablecloths and chairs.

JD Blog / By / , , ,

Well, I have only wanted this guitar since I saw it on MTV back in 1991. The infamous “Smells Like Teen Spirit” music video 1969 Fender Competition Mustang with matching headstock. The actual guitar sold for over $4.5 million at auction last year. The guitar was taken out of tour rotation after being smashed into the soundboard during a brutal show at The Dallas Trees Club October 19, 1991. It has been said to have been

Round Three – Birmingham! Furnace Fest 2023

JD Blog / By / , , , , , ,

Third time’s a charm. Back to Birmingham for Furnace Fest 2023! I have to start off by giving a shout out to Paul Waggoner, (guitarist BTBAM and PFC). His crew was instrumental in making sure I was able to capture all the right shots. With that being said, it felt like 2002. There was a very heavy North Carolina representation with the likes of the legendary Prayer for Cleansing, which spawned Between the Buried and

CONVERGE – The Senate. Columbia, SC – May 19, 2023

JD Blog / By / , , , ,

The almighty Converge commandeered the stage of The Senate in Columbia, SC this past Friday. This was the first “club show” of this run of tour dates. I’ve been watching this band since 1999 and they still bring all the energy that amazed a very young version of me. I remember seeing them at Tremont Music Hall the week “Jane Doe” was released. I was like “What the hell am I witnessing? This is amazing”  Jacob Bannon and co blasted
