Color Matchup

Kate from Bower Bird and I worked together on this one. Using a photograph from my tornado shelter series, she pulled the colors out. Love what you picked Kate!

*Timely...Our hearts go out to those that were affected by the tornados over the last two days throughout the South

Scene Beat: Indie Rock Cribs with Lucero

Today's post is all about the (former) home of Memphis band Lucero.
The whole band used to live together in a big loft, in Memphis. While they have all moved apart into their own homes, their fondness for the loft is apparent as the address is the title of their most recent record, 1372 Overton Park.

Sitting above a church and a dollar store, in a corner building, the Lucero loft played host to many house shows over the years and always had a revolving door of roommates, with about seven bedrooms and a stage in the living room, you never really knew what you were going to get when you climbed the stairs to the loft.
