When I was first approached by Fury 66 guitarist, Jeff Frady asking if I would photography their one time only reunion/benefit concert at The Catalyst I was in shock. I have this on and off dream of being a photographer for a music magazine and/or website. This opportunity was like a dream come true. To be able to hang out with the band back stage and document the day leading up to the show was an honor. It was everything I thought it would be and more. The thrill of a concert, crowd screaming, guitars blaring, In a odd way, I felt at home, like this was what I was meant to be doing. All the guys in the band are great. I’d like to give them all a huge shout out for rocking The Catalyst and letting me be part of the whole process.
This one time only reunion was more than just a show, but a benefit for Grind Out Hunger and Multiple Sclerosis research. It ended up selling out, causing the Catalyst to go over capacity. I cant even explain the energy that flooded the venue that night.
It was phenomenal.
Fury 66 Lineup:
