Southside Serenade is a Southern Rock/Acoustic band based out of Tampa, FL. I met the lead singer, Addison Arfaras, when he purchased my Fender electric guitar amp off of Craiglist.  At the time, I was selling all my music equipment to purchase some additional photography gear, but little did I know that this chance encounter would ultimately change my photographic direction and focus forever.

We ended up having an absolute blast, and shortly thereafter I made a business decision to pursue bands & musicians exclusively.....and I've never looked back.
