New Gig Photographers:

Thanks to Brian Jensen and Tamea Burd for offering to take photographs at all our upcoming gigs! I've been struggling to even remember to take the camera to gigs, so this comes as a welcomed relief! We can all look forward to bigger, better, clearer, more creative and varied photos on our gig pages from here on in, because they each have a much better camera than I do. (Yay!)
