About Darkroom Music
Darkroom Music is where sound meets vision, a place for those who know music is meant to be both heard and seen.
Founded by a small, close-knit team of photographers, writers and music enthusiasts with decades of collective experience in the music and media worlds. Our backgrounds in photography, writing and event production give us a multifaceted perspective on the music we cover and the culture surrounding it.
Our mission is simple: to provide authentic, insightful coverage of the music scene through both words and images.
We believe that great music journalism doesn’t just tell you what happened, it makes you feel like you were there, experiencing every beat, every laser beam, and every moment of community that makes live music so transformative.
Beyond festival coverage we also provide thoughtful analysis of new releases that goes beyond simple reviews, in-depth explorations of local scenes, and opinion pieces that examine the trends and innovations shaping today’s musical landscape.
From underground electronic events to mainstream music festivals across the country, indie rock to hip-hop, and jazz performances to country tours we cover the full spectrum of music. We strive to bring our readers beyond the headliners and into the heart of what makes music secial. Our team’s diverse expertise allows us to capture not just the sights and sounds, but the cultural significance and artistic expressions that define these gatherings.
Darkroom Music isn’t just about who’s on stage—it’s about the culture, the fans, the visual and performance art, and the complete sensory experience that defines today’s music events.
Join us as we continue to explore, document, and celebrate the ever-evolving landscape of music culture, one festival, one concert, and one photograph at a time.
