Music Journalism & Interviews

I designed the live music coverage site Heavy on the Jam as part creative outlet, and part professional hobby. I covered the often niche live music I listen to that may or may not find a spotlight in mainstream coverage.

I worked with renown concert photographer Dave Vann regularly, covering the likes of Bob Weir to Billy Strings and interviewing Grammy Winner Jeremy Garrett and others along the way. One article I wrote remains the only coverage for guitar phenom Billy Strings’ 400 person Halloween performance in 2018 - long before he was selling out arenas.

Professionally, Heavy on the Jam left me with Google Analytics and Wordpress experience as I created article pages, added photos and published my writing. I haven’t pursued HotJam with much tenacity recently but that’s best put by Fruition songwriter Mimi Naja, “It's just a matter of time, it's just a labor of love.”
