...:::::::SOUL'D OUT MUSIC FESTIVAL:::::::...

I was honored to photograph some of the great music legends the past few weeks.  The Soul'd Out Music Festival has now come to an end, and with it comes a little rest, and a lot of photo editing.  Here's the bands I was able to attend and capture through the lens.

The first annual Soul'd Out Music Festival takes place over two weeks, throughout eight of Portland's most prestigious venues. Featuring artists from across the musical spectrum, SOMF brings them all together under the banner of soulful music. Soul music, unlike any other, has the unique ability to unite us across perceived differences in race, culture or generation. Soulful, uplifting music, re-created in the live setting, is one of the most healing and profound means of expression humanity has. This music is the most effective tool of bringing about positive social evolution. We offer this festival as the beginning of a new movement towards realizing music's inherent healing and transformative qualities, and as a means of applying these qualities directly in our ever expanding community. The Soul'd Out Music Festival was created in November 2009, with the inaugural festivities scheduled for April 2010, as a means by which to give a platform to music often overlooked by the commercial music industry, as well as to firmly supplant Portland as the West Coast's premier independently-minded music market.
