Your Bio

A total music junkie with a passion for music and portrait photography, doodling faces and collecting (and occasionally playing) guitars.

Emotion, attitude, fun and, above all, love for what an artist does is what I try to capture whenever I have a camera with me at a concert...be it an intimate club gig or a high-octane arena show....from jazz and blues to pop, rock and shred.

If you want to get in touch with me, send me an email to biruta@jadeluxphoto.com

LES PAUL - Iridium Jazz Club, New York - 19.05.2009 : This was my second and, sadly, the last time of seeing the legendary Les Paul play his regular Monday gig at the Iridium Jazz Club in New York.
His incredible talent as well as his humor will be sorely missed.

FOREIGNER - Den Atelier, Luxembourg, 30.06.2009 : After having played festivals and arenas FOREIGNER stopped by in a small club...probably not expecting it to be quite so small. Yet, according to the crew, this turned out to be one of their best gigs in Europe on this tour.

SLIPKID - Hard Rock Cafe, Boston, 11.04.2009 : WHAT: The second time seeing SlipKid rock out some great tunes by the great The Who
WHEN: April 11, 2009
WHERE: Hard Rock Cafe, Boston, MA
WHO: Gary Cherone (vocals), Mark Cherone (guitar), Paul Mangone (bass), Jeff Calder (keys), Dana Spellman (drums)

Rarely does a tribute band manage to do justice to the original band. SlipKid does it in spades, all the while retaining their own identity. A true pleasure to listen to and a pure excitement to watch. Keep at it, guys!

SLIPKID - Tequila's, Danvers, MA - 20.02.2009 : WHAT: The first time seeing these guys play live, paying heartfelt tribute to The Who.
WHEN: February 20, 2009
WHERE: Tequila's, Danvers, MA
WHO: Gary Cherone (vocals), Mark Cherone (guitar), Paul Mangone (bass), Jeff Calder (keys), Dana Spellman (drums)

The venue was small and packed (over-packed, in fact, kicking the temperatures up to sauna-level and eventually forcing the fire department to temporarily stop the show, throw everyone out in the cold and do a head-count), but everyone present seemed to have a grand time. I definitely did. :-)
