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!

K-Love Fan Awards Hosts, the Duck Dynasty cast, on the Red Carpet (Phil Robertson, Ms. Kay Robertson, Missy Robertson, Jase Robertson)
It was Saturday June 1st when the nationwide Contemporary Christian Radio Station K-Love presented its first Fan Awards. Concert Blast was invited to cover this event and they all had a great time. Mike Arnold‘s wife, Sandra, came up with the idea to submit the media request to cover this event and before you knew it we received our invitations. Since the coverage was Sandra’s idea (and she knew more about this genre of music), she was invited to help out. Brian Hasbrook took some excellent photos from this Red Carpet event. Brian photographed the hosts of the evening, the Robertson’s from Duck Dynasty, Jase, Missy, Phil, and Ms. Kay, along with many Contemporary Christian artists such as Newsboys, Casting Crowns, Mercy Me, Big Daddy Weave, The Afters, Sidewalk Prophets, Mandisa, Colton Dixon, Matthew West, Building 429, and many others, also from the film industry, Alex Kendrick (“Facing The Giants” and “Courageous“), David Evans (Producer of the movie “The Grace Card“), and Stephen Baldwin (multiple TV and Films)… Enjoy the Photos!
