The crew had to opportunity to tape a live performance of Tyler Bryant. For those who don't know Tyler Bryant he is who Robert Knight, a highly acclaimed rock music photographer, projects to be our generations next best thing.
There was a 77 minute documentary shown prior to the show titled "Rock Prophecies" about Robert Knight's career and his almost prophetic niche to know who will be rock stars and who won't. Robert has photographed the best of the best in the music industry from Led Zepplin, Slash, Santana, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. In fact, Robert Knight was the only photographer given permission to take pictures at what came to be Stevie's last live performance before the unpredictable helicopter crash that took Stevie's life.
Needless to say Mr. Knight has been around long enough to have an accredited say in who will or will not make it in the music industry.
He pushed the Sick Puppies, a band from Australia, to come to America because he believed that they would become huge. Granted they had the ups and the periodic downs, but they, in 12 months time reached top ten on the Billboard charts. Robert was right.
He also was right about Panic at the Disco. He introduced them to people who didn't think they'd ever make some how Robert just knew that they would make it. Panic at the Disco has reached stardom, and Robert Knight was the first to say so. Somehow Robert just knew.
His next projection to be on top? Tyler Dow Bryant. Tyler played his first college performance on MTSU campus tonight, and left the audience picking up their jaws as they left the auditorium to wait in line to say thank you and shake Tyler's hand.
The crew did exceptional in getting the shots as Tyler jumped off of drums, ran out into the audience, and bounced around stage all night long. Tommy, the director of this particular shoot, even won a Fender Stratocaster as a raffle prize give-away!
They got the shoots, they won guitars, and they taped who very well maybe, according the Robert Knight, as the next Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Tonight was an absolute success and an incredible experience in itself. It's hard to imagine what kinds of things they'll experience in Florida.
Till then.
