Chris Wage Photography 

Just heard from my dad that Chris Kent has passed away. Honored to have heard him play a number of times and take this photo of him — one of my favorite music photos ever. RIP.

My friend Cary came through town yesterday, and I swung by the Marathon Motorworks building to snap a few pictures while they were doing some video work. Cary and I have been friends since we were like 10, and she had an amazing voice even then. Lately, though, she’s honed it into a dangerous weapon of an instrument, and she’s been touring like a mad woman with her husband, Michael Trent. If you haven’t seen them yet, you’re really doing yourself a disservice. I know that you can’t throw a rock in this town without someone promoting themselves or their friends’ music, but I have yet to convince anyone to see them that didn’t leave with their jaw on the ground. Lucky for you, they’re coming to town! On their way back from New Orleans, they’ll be stopping here to play at 3rd and Lindsley on Friday, Oct. 8th. You should go. If you’re wondering what to expect, this video, and this one should give you a pretty good idea.
