        It was day two of the Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival 2010 and Concert Blast photographer, Brian Hasbrook was once again on hand to deliver the excitement through the camera’s eye.

        We arrived too late to get Brian in the photo pit for Colbie Caillat’s set, but he was on hand to capture the on stage performances of Jerry Lee Lewis, Seether, Michael McDonald, and Hall and Oates… until he and the other photographers were escorted out of the pit in a hurry.

        Actually, right before they pulled the plug on every headling act of the night, the tornado warning sirens screamed and the voice over the PA belted over the entire festival grounds to exit the area immediately! Continue Reading…

            The second night of the Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival coverage for our podcast begins with recordings from the establishment who sponsored day two of the festival, Rendezvous in downtown Memphis (our favorite place to eat Bar-B-Que Ribs).

            The guys start the day by interviewing fans of the music festival and having a fun conversation with Percy, an employee of Rendezvous for 40 years.  Percy takes us down memory lane as he discussed the former Presidents and many stars who have attended the restaurant.

            They ate a wonderful meal before heading to the Beale Street Music Festival while to enjoy the various genres of music from Colbie Caillat, Jerry Lee Lewis, Seether, Michael McDonald, along with Hall and Oates. Continue Reading…

                It’s Memphis in May and it always begins with the Beale Street Music Festival.  This is one of our favorite festivals to attend due to the friendly atmosphere, the food, and of course the various styles of music.

                Concert Blast photographer Brian Hasbrook took pics throughout the weekend and here are the pics from Friday night.

                Brian captured performance photos from Blues Traveler, Jeff Beck, B52s, Goo Goo Dolls, and Limp Bizkit.
