As the guys from Concert Blast reflect back on the coverage performed in 2013, we thought it would be better to show you with hundreds of photographs taken throughout the year in a video segment. The year’s photo coverage began with an interview with singer/songwriter/actress Jewel from our guest blogger/photographer friend Samantha Shrader and ended with Mike Arnold‘s visit to the annual Christmas 4 Kids benefit touring of tour buses. This year also included the Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival, the CMA Music Festival, and the K-Love Fan Awards, along with numerous concerts, interviews, and CD reviews throughout the year. Enjoy this video of the Concert Blast 2013 Flashback and Happy New Year from Mike Arnold, Brian Hasbrook, and Tom Thompson!

Yngwie Malmsteen In Concert
Concert Blast returned to Memphis, TN to cover the Beale Street Music Festival again this year. A major part of the coverage is the work of expert concert photographer Brian Hasbrook. While Mike Arnold and Tom Thompson were busy cutting up with the festival fans and covering the audio commentary portion of the music acts, Brian was busy trying to meet the demands of being on time at as many stages as possible to take photos from the pit in front of the stage. This is part one of Brian’s work from Friday night’s acts which includes; The Joy Formidable, Yngwie Malmsteen, Deftones, Daryl Hall & John Oates and The Wallflowers. Enjoy Brian Hasbrook’s Beale Street Music Festival concert photos!

Here’s Part 2 of our 2010 Concert Blast Posts. This video takes you through the month of May as we covered the Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival and more and then carries you through the first portion of the month of June 2010.

It was day two of the Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival 2010 and Concert Blast photographer, Brian Hasbrook was once again on hand to deliver the excitement through the camera’s eye.

We arrived too late to get Brian in the photo pit for Colbie Caillat’s set, but he was on hand to capture the on stage performances of Jerry Lee Lewis, Seether, Michael McDonald, and Hall and Oates… until he and the other photographers were escorted out of the pit in a hurry.

Actually, right before they pulled the plug on every headling act of the night, the tornado warning sirens screamed and the voice over the PA belted over the entire festival grounds to exit the area immediately! Continue Reading…
