Ted Nugent is currently on his “Adios Mofo ’23” tour and stopped at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races on 7/21/2023. This was my first time seeing Ted Nugent perform and he definitely made a lasting impression. With rocking guitar, heavy riffs, tightknit band, and songs to get the crowd on their feet, I would make sure to catch Ted on his final tour! You will not leave disappointed!

Disturbed descended upon Ridgefield, WA with a full 18,000 capacity show at Rv Inn Style Amphitheater. They hit the ground running with the collective intensity of a band that knows how to get a crowd into gear with full force. They presented a strong 20 song set to an extremely appreciative and enthusiastic crowd. The band gathered the material for this tour from most of their studio catalogue including their renowned Genesis cover song Land of Confusion. The bands highly anticipated Take Back Your Life Tour is a world tour on a grand scale with amazing pyrotechnics and fluctuating moving trusts that would wave simultaneously to their hits.

Five for Fighting (aka John Ondrasik) joined Barenaked Ladies on their “Last Summer on Earth” tour and performed July 5th at The Anthem, in Washington, DC. He was joined by drummer Randy Cooke, bassist Sean Hurley, and guitarist Peter Thorn. Ondrasik’s high energy performance definitely warmed up the crowd and got the fans moving.

Barenaked Ladies performed their 7th anniversary “Last Summer On Earth Tour” at The Anthem in Washington, DC on July 5th. The band are currently on tour with Del Amitri and Five for Fighting. While in the photo pit, it was fun to witness the energy this band gives off and hear the crowd go wild behind me. This was a show to see!

Falling in Reverse came to the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, MD on 7/3/2023. The band is currently on their “Popular Monstour” tour and the supporting bands depend on the date! This date brought Crown the Empire, Slaughter to Prevail, and Ice Nine Kills. I have been a fan of Ronnie Radke and Falling in a Reverse for years now and was excited to be able to capture their performance. I might have had a fanboy moment once or twice in the pit as I was snapping pictures.

Puscifer are currently on tour and stopped to perform at The Lyric in Baltimore, MD on 6/1/2023. This was my first time seeing the band live. I must admit I was completely captivated by both the sound of the band and the live visuals that accompanied the music. Secret agents? Dancing aliens? Video vignettes? Check, check, and check. Bravo!

The former Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist, Greg Puciato, stopped at Underground Arts in Philly recently in support of his pair of solo albums, with the most recent being 2022’s Mirrorcell. The venue was packed and the anxiety was high. When Puciato hit the stage the crowd exploded. An extremely intense performance in an intimate, hard rock setting.

This was my first time covering a show for Hazy Eye Media and one I will not soon forget. I had a great time and look forward to seeing Greg Puciato again in the future. He seems to be an artist who will not be resting anytime soon. Continue viewing below for more of my pics from his performance in Philly. All images copyright and courtesy of Taylor Mushinski.

In this Hazy Eye Media photo flashback we’re taking a trip down memory lane with Citizen Cope at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC on 5/10/2023. This was a solo acoustic performance by the DC native and one of his most intimate. He recently announced that his latest album, The Victory March, will be dropping this summer. The album has contributions from musicians in The Roots and Paul McCartney’s backing band. Not a bad lineup!

I have seen August Burns Red multiple times, and they never disappoint. The energy Jake Luhrs creates while on stage makes the entire crowd bounce. Having seen them before, I knew he likes to swing the microphone around. I waited for the shot and it looked as if he was aiming right for me! Great show.

Skinny Puppy recently performed at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD and I was there to capture some action.

The band are on their final tour so figured I would check them out while I still had the chance.
