I'm a big Frank Turner fan and I've covered many shows. Click through for my photos from 2019, 2018, late 2016 and early 2016, and all the way back in 2013.
After being without concerts for most of the past three years, I feel especially grateful to the artists, venue team, fans and everyone else in the industry when I'm back out taking in live music. It's my spiritual, communal, tribal thing and Frank Turner brings that positive, optimistic and honest human perspective that I personally vibe with.
"Punches" from FTHC kicked things off with a bang. The song "Get Better" from Positive Songs for Negative People became a bit of a personal anthem over the hell that the past six years have been for me personally, so when it showed up as song number three, while I was taking pics of the band, I was thrilled. I hope no one noticed me singing along and dancing a little in the pit. Following that up with "Recovery" was great; another song that really hits home. The entire set was brilliant, so I'll just pick a couple of highlights of a set packed with highlights; classics "If I Ever Stray", "The Ballad of Me and My Friends" and "Photosynthesis". Damn right; I still won't grow up.
Now I'm going to spend some more time with FTHC...
Please take a peek at my pics from The Interrupters' co-headlining set and Chuck Ragan's powerful opening set.
And now some Frank Turner music...
"Non Serviam" from FTHC.
