James Morehead’s talent for evoking the reader’s memories through his own is astonishing.

Lisa Marie Simmons, poet and musician

A limited edition collection of photographs and poetry inspired by
San Francisco Bay Area live music venues.

Crushed bodies at the barricade below, 
my refuge above in the balcony…
