Less than one week after covering Maisie Peters at SXSW in Austin – and declaring her my “Best New Find” at the music festival – I had the pleasure of doing so again back home in Seattle at the Vera Project. Her sold-out show at the intimate, up-close venue proved to be everything, and more than her adoring audience anticipated.  It’s guaranteed that pop music’s next big thing will never perform in a space this small again.

Singer-songwriter Jonah Kagen opened – and closed the set with his hit, “Broken”.

After three long years, SXSW finally returned!  The six-day music festival in Austin, Texas typically hosts over 2000 performers in over 100 venues, and draws several hundred thousand attendees. After photographing 88 performances over the six days, here is my coverage from SXSW 2022, Day 1.

Jazz Alley hosted Judith Hill for two nights on March 22nd & 23rd. Hill, a blues musician from Los Angeles, released Baby, I’m Hollywood! last year. She brought a full band with her, including Michiko Hill, who also played organ and synths on Baby, I’m Hollywood!. The Grammy-winning Hill plays music even beyond blues, beautifully lending her voice to whatever she pleases.
