Even though Knoxville is the third largest city in Tennessee, the biggest concerts that come through are usually country artists. Not that I don't like country, but it's not my biggest cup of tea. However, sometimes dear artists come through and I get lucky enough to get to go, and of course I bring my camera! These are not the best because of the concert lighting and having to zoom in and use a high ISO.
Matt Thiessen from Relient K playing their acoustic show at the Bijou in December 2010. This was actually taken with my old Sony CyberShot.
My friend Cassie had an extra ticket to the sold out Taylor Swift concert at Thompson-Boiling Arena on July 1st, 2011 and I took her up on the offer to go see her for free!
