Michael + Jaclyn: 03.08.2013 (Vadnais Heights Commons)

‘Twas a beautiful March day and we had snowmobiles, helicopters, mom drinking beer from giant vase, groomsman dressed as bridesmaid and vice versa, pimpjuice, frostbite on groom, groom sneaking snowmobile cake bite before ceremony, an awesome venue, and just an amazing time for the first March wedding we have ever shot (out of about 200)! Mike and Jaclyn, what a fun group of friends and family you have – you guys are going to continue laughing for a long, long time. Thanks for inviting us to be a part of it and allowing us to capture some awesome images! Here is their Facebook album. This wedding wins best snowmobile and helicopter shot ever. 🙂 Fusion video coming soon with our first ever remote helicopter footage!! -Judd, Josh, Eric, and Emily

Folk Concert at The Loft at Studio J

Show up for excellent music, atmosphere, and company!
Chris Cunningham of the popular folk-pop duo Storyhill and Tom Catmull of Tom Catmull and the Clerics are performing at The Loft on March 9th. Their combined experience in the music industry, ranging from Chris’ numerous appearances on Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion” to Tom’s 7th consecutive Missoula Independents’ Readers Choice “Best Musician” Award, makes them a dynamic pair on stage.
Doors open at 7:00pm and music will start at 7:30pm. A cash bar will be provided for the concert. Tickets can be preordered for $15/person. Cash or checks will be gratefully accepted. We hope to see you there!

Chris Cunningham and Tom Catmull

Artist Bios:

Chris Cunningham

“Chris Cunningham has been writing songs since he was a teenager growing up in Montana. He is one half of the popular folk-pop duo Storyhill which is signed on Red House Records and has toured the US for two decades, releasing over a dozen albums, with numerous appearances on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion – including the 2011 APHC Cruise. Chris writes songs that explore, among other things, love, heartache, family and personal transformation. He often sings in character taking listeners on a journey through the eyes of another person. Chris lives in Bozeman, Montana with his family where he produces recordings for songwriters and bands in his studio, Basecamp Recording.”
www.basecamprecording.com

Tom Catmull

“Predictably tough to pin the music into one neat and tidy genre, Tom Catmull presents a roots-driven sound flavored by some early impressions stamped on him as a skinny kid in Gulf Coast Texas. He spent his late teens and early twenties listening to as many Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt records as he could find, while simultaneously frothing over live performances by Shake Russell, Dana Cooper and Lyle Lovett. Tom has earned fiercely loyal followings as songwriter and performer from Oregon to Utah to Minnesota, but calls Missoula, MT home. After six records, a hundred songs and thousands of performances, Tom Catmull still hones the presentation of his show with guitar, harmonica and most recently the banjo. He’s been voted “Best Musician” by the Missoula Independents’ Readers Choice Awards for the last seven years in a row.
