BONERAMA, Matt Perrine, the master on the sousaphone
The cultural life returns to town and hopefully will stay. “Music on Main Street”, formerly known as “Dubuque and All That Jazz”, made its comeback last Friday and Joan and I went to enjoy the first music event under the clock tower in Dubuque since a long time. New Orleans brass funk rock band BONERAMA played a great concert that was enjoyed very much by the audience. With four trombones, sousaphone, guitar, drums, and sometimes bass, the band produced a powerful sound that is part of today’s New Orleans music scene.

This was of course totally different than my usual wildlife or landscape shootings, but I really like concert photography. At the end it is still all about the light! I always approach it with black and white in mind and prefer the time after the daylight fades away. The concert ended around 9PM and that means I only had about half an hour to make some clicks, due to the late sunset in July. On the way back to the car the camera bag was carried over the shoulder and under my arm was BONERAMA’s latest vinyl record, “Bonerama plays Zeppelin”… I hope you enjoy the photos!
