Have you ever wanted to hear a Bluegrass version “Hells Bells” or “Highway to Hell”? If that’s the case there’s no way around Hayseed Dixie. Those men know how to have fun on stage, and they are a treat for photographers.
John Wheeler (aka Barley Scotch), Don Wayne Reno (aka Reverend), Dale Reno (aka Deacon) and Jake Byers (aka Bakesnake) form Hayseed Dixie who started back in 2000 with (well you guessed) AC/DC covers. By now they have a solid base of fans, which is deserved considering the show they pull off on stage.
Oh and if you were wondering, …. yes it’s a fridge full of beer behind them on stage….
Photographically it was pretty standard. Lighting was ok with a lot of strobes, some reds but thank god not too much. The challenge here was that there was not lead so to speak. All four of them are “the lead”, they were all very entertaining and always had a smile or an expression ready for the camera. I shot the permitted songs with the 28-75mm F2.8 and the Fisheye 15mm F2.8.
