steve lacy sells out dc
This past Sunday, I was enamoured by the incredibly talented Steve Lacy and his sold out performance in Washington, DC., the 9th show on a long list of his current "oh yeah" tour stops. It's been a bit since I've been able to photograph a show as fun as this one, the atmosphere within The Anthem was electric :0 Feel free to glance lovingly at my photo gallery from this show below - and catch Steve Lacy in your city before it's too late! words + photos by eva


she’s green flourish in dc
About a week ago, I took the trip down south to one of my all time favorite Washington, DC venues - DC9. This club is near and dear to my heart, my fondness only growing after experiencing a sold out performance by Minneapolis natives she’s green. I’d consider myself a she’s green frequent flyer - the swallowtail EP has been on repeat in my rotation since its July release - so being able to catch the band on a headlining tour run was electrifying. Sneak a glimpse into the sh


Cannons in Washington, DC
A few months ago, I had the incredible opportunity of photographing the beautifully ethereal Cannons on their co-headlining tour with Bob Moses in Washington, DC. Taking over The Anthem, Cannons blew the entirety of the theater away with their stunning performance. Take a look at my gallery below to experience some major FOMO photos by eva


inji electrifies washington, dc
About 2 years ago, I had the amazing opportunity to photograph rising pop-star Inji at The Atlantis in Washington, DC. About 2 weeks ago, I had the same amazing opportunity to photograph her at the 9:30 Club; Atlantis' larger sister venue. Both performances blew my expectations out of the water - the ecstatic energy Inji brought to the stage flowed throughout the audience who returned it right back to her. Singing, dancing, laughing, yelling, and everything in-between flooded

jeff draco - a look into excess
A few weeks ago, I sat down (on the internet) with Jeff Draco to discuss the release of his latest album Excess, the modern-age yearning for community, and the worlds largest chest of drawers. Residing in the Washington, DC area since 2018, Jeff has become a staple within the capital's indie-pop music scene. With his unforgettable live performances across the DMV area at iconic venues such as the 9:30 Club, as well as touring cross-country with artists such as The Thing With

I recently had the opportunity to e-chat with one of my favorite duos - Sub*T. With the release of their debut album How My Own Voice Sounds approaching (coming out this Friday by the way!), we talk in-depth about their creative process behind the album, how the world of 2019 stan Twitter brought them together, and much more that I can't bear to spoil for you.

a look into "the weight" with cashier
The title track "The Weight" is your final and most recently released single off of the EP — what does that phrase mean to you, and how did it come to represent the record as a whole?
I think as we get older, we are more aware of our mortality and our role in life, our interactions and how they affect the version of us that is perceived by others. I feel the weight we carry can be heavy.


A Chat with Juliet Daniel
Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to conduct my first interview in 6 years (!! :O) with the lovely Juliet Daniel. Juliet is an alternative-pop musician currently residing in the city of Seattle, with a brand new EP containing three high energy genre-bending tracks speaking on the scope of digital life. We chatted in-depth about her latest release (and title track) No New Friends, her experiences in the tech world as a former Microsoft employee, her creative identity an


an interview with alxs
Pop singer/songwriter ALXS released her newest single 1800 LET IT GO! on February 20th; an exciting new track that can be described as "a cathartic anthem for moving on and reclaiming yourself after heartbreak".

Take a listen to 1800 LET IT GO! and keep up to date with ALXS's upcoming projects! Thank you for taking the time to chat with us!

in the spotlight - aricel
Aricel DuBois’ second DIY EP release, Brown Eyes at Night, isn’t interested in appealing to an audience who seeks a “methodized-put-together-clean look”. It’s for listeners who seek to present themselves, to find others, who are uncut, raw– sometimes even messy. With one month since her release and days away from her next live performance, I got to sit down with Aricel and hear all about her thought process that isn’t completely translated in through this project. Thank yo
