Red Jacket Mine opens The Hard Rock Cafe

I was lucky enough for Red Jacket Mine to invite me to photograph them opening the new Hard Rock Cafe in downtown Seattle this week.  The always amazing Explone opened the show followed by Nathan Wade and The Dark Pioneers and ending with a stunning set by RJM.

The Hard Rock Cafe is an interesting venue.  One person described it as a Cheesecake Factory downstairs with a beautiful show venue upstairs.  The walls have that “Northwest raw lumber” feel to them and what appears to be the building’s original giant wood beams (that’s old growth forest folks!) spanning the ceiling.  The music came through clear and loud (really loud) but the whole truss holding all of the front lighting was not working, making it for a more difficult shooting environment, but that should be fixed soon.  It will be a great and much needed new venue for seeing live music downtown.

Check out Red Jacket Mine every Tuesday this month at The Hard Rock Cafe.  Until then enjoy these images and Red Jacket Mine’s song “The Pose” by clicking below.  To view the slideshow full-screen click on the icon to the right of the thumbnails.

Colby - I would of been there, but I had something come up at the last moment. I like the photos a lot! I did find the flash piece of the presentation difficult to use since it’s white on white.
