On September 1, 2021, the Summerfest music festival started up again in Milwaukee after a one year absence due to COVID-19. It was great to be back in the house!
This blog is on one of the MANY bands I photographed. Night Ranger who played on September 3, 2021.
Night Ranger has been around in various forms since 1979. Jack Blades keeps the band rocking. The show is high energy and the guys really work it as you can see in the photos.
They were working the crowd with some of their legendary songs like "Sister Christian".
I will let the photos do the talking now. Enjoy a look at them having fun and sweating it out while rocking the house with possibly more energy than what they had in 1979!

Summerfest just finished it's third and last weekend of fun and music after no music festival last year.
One band that has been on my bucket list to photograph is ZZ Top. I've now photographed the guys three times and love to see what the guitars and drum kits look like because they different for each tour.
Bass guitar player, Dusty Hill, passed away not too long ago and before he died, he ordered the band to keep on going after his death! So, Elwood Francis is the new bass player. He was their guitar tech for over 30 years and fits right in.
Prior to COVID-19, Elwood did not have a beard! He didn't shave during COVID and so he now has a beard to equal Dusty and Billy!!
Enjoy a look at some great guys with some interesting looking guitars and drum kit. As the drum kit says on the bass drum, "Aged to Perfection"! I have to agree!

Been a bit crazy since our big storm on August 10th here in Brookfield, Wisconsin. It's not hard to get frustrated with insurance companies and replacing appliances!!
Finally got some time to finish editing part 2 of the IMSA race weekend at Road America. It was great fun with the Whelen guys and congrats to Pipo Derani and Filipe Nasr!!
Enjoy a look at that weekend and the winners circle celebration.
Now I'm getting ready for Summerfest music photo fun!!
Be well, safe and enjoy the photos.
Thanks,
