Fortunately for me I was able to photograph Amyl and the Sniffers in Baltimore this past May. Holy shit. What an amazing show! Super intense performance. Australian punk rock mixed with super sweaty aerobics. It was hard keeping up with the band. This was the last show of their US tour and they played like champions. Bravo!

Anyway, in this photo flashback we’re viewing images from Amyl and the Sniffers’ performance at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD on 5/22/2022. Be sure to check the Official Amyl and the Sniffers Website for music, news, and upcoming tour dates. All images copyright and courtesy of Andy Jillson.

Megan Thee Stallion performed at Preakness LIVE in Baltimore, MD earlier this year and I was there doing my best to document the event. I basically stood in a field for about three hours to take these photos. It was well worth it though. Her performance was amazing. Extremely talented artist, and she’s gorgeous. I’m officially one of thee “hotties” now.
