Green River Ordinance

I have to give it to Green River Ordinance – even as the opening band on a three-band bill, these guys gave a fantastic performance worthy of any headlining spot.

Photographer’s Notes:

I’d caught Green River Ordinance opening up for Train earlier this year, but I’d forgotten just how energetic their set was. As it turned out, the five-piece band was the perfect start to the evening on David Cook’s headlining tour.

Just as with The Script’s set, spotlights were in full effect for Green River Ordinance’s set and were fully appreciated and made shooting with f/2.8 zooms a breeze.

If you have the chance to photograph Green River Ordinance, I recommend it – these guys look like they’re having a blast on stage and it makes shooting all the more fun.

   Awesome GRO pics, Todd! I saw GRO and David Cook at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA (suburbs of DC), and I can definitely agree with you: they’re so much fun, all-around! Now, I’m a long way from being anything remotely close to a pro, especially since I’m just a freshman at Towson University majoring in Art-Graphic Design, but even just shooting them with my “almost-pro” Canon Powershot SX110 IS from the middle of the 500-seat dinner theatre/club was a blast!

   Can’t wait for the full David Cook set! :)

     Hey Lizzie,

     Thanks for the comment, it’s great to hear that you enjoyed photographing GRO. They definitely put on a great stage show, even if one isn’t familiar with the the band’s music. The set for David Cook is coming up, thanks for being patient.
