Happy almost New Year, folks! It’s the end of the month and you know what that means. It’s time for my GigShots! blog post and the last one of the year. I hope you enjoy this short read about the time I shot photos of JAY-Z in concert. Cheers!

Written & photographed by: Carmen GarzaIt was an eye-opening experience to, not only watch Jay-Z perform his rapping rawness, but I never thought I would have the opportunity to shoot photos of his show. This is indubitably the stuff that any creative person’s dreams are made of. I haven’t seen ...

My GigShots! November blog is published and ready for you, music lovers of Facebook! This month’s offering is of the understated Pete Yorn. Enjoy!

Not many artists can pull off a true singer-songwriter like born and raised New Jerseyan Pete Yorn. I had the pleasure of attending his concert many years ago. The people in the small venue were packed like sardines in a cardboard box. Did anyone get that Radiohead reference? He was so gracious, dem...

Happy end of the month GigShots! blog is now published for your reading pleasure. This one pertains to the British rock band The Verve.

I waited a lifetime to see one of my favorite rock bands in concert, The Verve, and I finally did. The British rockstars are mostly known for their mega-hit “Bittersweet Symphony”, but they have so many great songs. I have every cd the band ever released and I like most, if not all, of their tun...

Hi, music people! It’s time for my GigShots! monthly blog posting. This short blurb is about the band U2. Enjoy!

U2 is a jaw-dropping rock band to have the pleasure of seeing perform in concert. I have had such blessings at least five times thus far.I recall during one of their more recent tours (within the last fifteen years or so), their stage production utilized so much illuminating energy that Google Satel...

It’s almost the end of June and that means it’s time to post my GigShots! blog. If you want to know what occurred during the first time I shot photos at a THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS concert, then I hope you enjoy reading my story. Thanks.

In recollection of the first time I had the honor to cover the iconic rock band Thirty Seconds To Mars in concert, brothers Jared and Shannon Leto couldn’t have functioned more differently than each other.Jared was rumored to had been feeling under the weather, so he requested no lights be shined ...

My GigShots! April blog is ready for your reading pleasure. This one is about one of the times I saw R.E.M.

First of all, doesn’t even imagining someone wanting to lay down during an R.E.M. concert sound absurd? Well, it happened. However, it wasn’t anyone in the audience. It was none other than the ever-artistic frontman, Michael Stipe himself. He sang while laying on his side, after the first few so...

Posting my January 2024 GigShots! blog for the music lovers I know. I hope you enjoy.

Liam and Noel Gallagher just can never seem to put their differences aside long enough to even consider reforming their iconic rock-and-roll group Oasis. The brothers continue to refuse to speak to, but not about, each other. I had the pleasure to see the band perform during their heyday and I recal...
