My good friends, The Familiar Looking Strangers, have headed back home to Liverpool, England for the holidays.
Their album is done and coming out in March 2014 when they will start touring with the band Hawkwind.
You guys have worn out my Nikon and I have sent it away to get repaired and ready for your next visit!
The Strangers played a few dates here recently with Phil Vasser who is one of the nicest guys and hardest workers in the music industry!
In 2009 at Summerfest, Phil stayed around for every last person at a meet and greet, signing anything and everything plus taking photos with his fans! That is the way it is supposed to be, right?
Enjoy some photos of Phil from Summerfest here in Milwaukee back in 2009.
Please join me on Facebook at Rich Zimmermann Photography and have a great week.
Thanks,

One of the world's leading heavy metal bands, Judas Priest, brought forth British Steel to Milwaukee's Summerfest on July 2, 2009.
Led by lead singer Rob Halford, I needed some earplugs as I photographed the band famous for their twin lead guitarists, Glen Tipton and Richie Faulkner. They were really loud on this particular night!
The band stuffed a lot of gear on stage and made the stage look a bit small for them.
I only had one and a half songs to photograph the band so this was a quick shoot.
Enjoy some photos from that night and please like me on Facebook at Rich Zimmermann Photography as I try to build up my Facebook presence.
Thanks,

December 2, 1973
On February 2, 1973, I had the pleasure of photographing Leo Kottke. He opened up a show for Loggins and Messina at Milwaukee's Performing Arts Center that evening.
At the time, I was working for the Bugle American newspaper and we conducted an interview in Leo's dressing room before the show.
In my collection of favorite photographs, a few are shown here with Leo's reflection in the mirror. He was relaxed, reading the paper and just killing time before his performance.
Leo, is to me, the best acoutic 12 string guitar player in the world. Not many people get close to playing like Leo does!
He still plays and if you can catch a performance of his please do so because you will be amazed at his great voice and guitar playing.
Please join me at Facebook at Rich Zimmermann Photography as I try to build up my Facebook group. It is new and I only have 35 people so far! You get a weekly reminder of my blog and more great photos.
Have a great week!
Thanks,
