Facebook, and she and Mass Folk Commons liked my images I had taken of them. I then went out to see them again at a little Irish pub in Trenton called Tir Na Nog that they perform at often. I pho- tographed them again and was asked by the band’s lead singer, Andy, if I w ould like to be their photographer for their posed band images. I accepted. I trav- eled to do the photo shoot at their warehouse in the Kensington area of Philadelphia. The photos came out amazing.  I continued to travel the USA for six months after that shoot. Upon returning to New Jersey from a cross-country trip, I made a pit stop in Philadelphia to see Mass Folk Commons performing at yet another Irish pub, this time in Philadelphia, called Fergie’s. This time it was like being reunited with long lost family. After they finished playing, discussions of taking the band to the next level began. I started managing and booking the band in November of 2016.
