» JoyFest Concert 2009

The 2009 JoyFest concert kicked off at the Kings Dominion theme park on Saturday July 18th.  The Kingswood Amphitheater was rockin’ with a sold out audience filling the seats and the lawn.  Performers included Crystal Aikin, Martha Munizzi, Tye Tribbett, Marvin Sapp and Kirk Franklin.  All I can say, is if you missed this show, you missed a treat!  Premier Festivals really knows how to put on a star-studded show. The gospel radio announcers of DC and Virginia did a great job promoting the event as well.  Thanks to the lighting crew who kept the stage well lit and the fog machine pumping after the sun went down.  Here’s a sample of images captured of most artists at the Joyfest event.

» GMWA Convention 2008

On Monday August 11th, I traveled to Nashville TN for gospel music’s annual GMWA Workshop Convention.  The 2008 convention featured a 5-day line up of evening gospel showcases and daytime classes.  For three of these days, I had the opportunity to photograph performances by artists like Trinitee 5:7, Kurt Carr, and Dorothy Norwood.  Here are some photo highlights from Monday through Wednesday night at the Gaylord Opryland hotel.

» Milton Bingham Concert

On April 19th, Milton Bingham directed the Petersburg GMWA Choir, during a performance at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Petersburg VA. Bingham conducted a workshop with the choir prior to the concert, where he taught them several of his songs. The VA Mass Choir also sang on the program, directed by Minister Earl Bynum. This was quite a treat for all who attended… and for everyone else, here are some photos from the event.

» Charleston to Roanoke

On March 15-16, I traveled with the Virginia Mass Choir to First Baptist Church in Charleston WV, then to Pilgrim Baptist Church in Roanoke VA. The choir’s weekend tour went VERY well… everything from a smooth and uneventful bus ride through the mountains, to a series of uplifting performances. Thanks to Randy and our driver Reggie at Distinguished Executive Transportation for a great job transporting the choir. Thanks to both churches for your hospitality, and the meals that were prepared for the choir.
