A picture perfect day took over the Adado Riverfront Park in Lansing Michigan this past Saturday as Rock Lansing put on their second annual all day music festival. Headlined by rock bad asses Saliva, as they belted out hit after hit like "Ladies and Gentlemen," "Click, Click, Boom" and others. Rock Lansing had it all, guitar maestro Ayron Jones headlined the second stage and had everyone in awe with his performance, ripping through "Take Me Away," "Blood in the Water," "Filthy" among others. Unfortunately I missed Adelitas Way, the return of Evans Blue and Riding With Killers but had the incredible opportunity to photograph the rest of the bands.

A highlight for me was my first onstage introduction of a band, not just any band but one of my favorites as Crobot along with Q106 Detroit Radio Legend "Scary" Terry allowed me to come on stage in front of the sun drenched crowd and let me introduce the boys from Pennsylvania. Crobot has one of the most entertaining sets i've seen, time and time again putting them in the top echelon of live performances. Frontman Brandon Yeagley not only engages the masses but gives the photographers some of the most epic photos we have taken. Crobot took over the afternoon with their incredible performance of "Low Life" as Brandon leaped about 6 feet onto the shoulders of guitarist Chris Bishop and took a lap around the front of the crowd.

Other notable performances I saw was an incredible set from Conquer Divide, Heartsick, Mr. Denton on Doomsday. Many of the bands hailed from the Lansing or Michigan area and those who attended saw one incredible show. Check out my photos below and interviews coming soon!
