The Joy Formidable and why live music is so much fun.

Welsh band The Joy Formidable brought their alternative rock to Irving Plaza, NYC in support of their record Hitch.  Awe inspiring to see Ritzy Bryan the female lead singer hit unapologetic rifts as the lead guitarist and rock the crowd.

Despite the ear shattering rock tearing throughout the set, Ritzy managed to quiet the crowd down and silence them to do an encore acoustic set in the middle of crowd. The well behaved crowd was so quiet you were able to hear the vocals and acoustic guitars throughout the entire venue without any mics or backline.  

I always get so inspired by live music shows.  Stills more than video you are able to capture moments that embody the energy and excitement of the moment.

What a great band.  Check out more on Joy Formidable and their upcoming tours and shows here.
