the {quarter} Turn

Technically, it’s not really a quarter of the Turn, but saying 2/5ths of the Turn dosen’t sound quite as nice. Did a quick shoot for Brian & Pat while they were playing at a local school fair on Sunday. It was my first time shooting them in natural light since the original band pictures I did (where it was just Brian, Pat & Lance) and that made me happy!

I asked them to look at me once and smile. Pat was kinda against the whole smiling thing (citing the whole rock star glare) but for the few I caught I thought they looked good! They really rocked out and I got to hear them play their newest song which I really liked. When Pat saw me singing along to some of their songs as well as some of the covers they played, I think he was fairly suprised! Okay, so I’m a mom with 3 kids, but I can still like great music, right!?

At the fair, the Turn was taking donations for Tunes 4 the Troops. Where people donate their CD’s and DVD’s and they are shipped over to Iraq, Afganistan, etc.  to the troops fighting so they have some good music to listen to. A great cause, if you are interested in donating some of your used or new CD’s or DVD’s see their site here: http://www.tunes4thetroops.org/

The Turn will be playing next in Huntington at Finnegans on Friday, June 6th and then at RJ Daniels in Rockville Centre on Saturday, June 14th. Come hear them play if you are around. Then off to Webster Hall at the end of the month (Saturday, June 28th) for the final, finals of the battle of the bands. If they win, they are going to Germany to play in front of like 30,000 people at a music festival. They want me to come. Uh huh…cause I’m with the band!!
