Bayker Blankenship — Stage AE, Pittsburgh, PA (September 2025)

Bayker Blankenship brought the Maxed Out Tour to Stage AE in Pittsburgh on a late September night in 2025. I worked the front of the stage as the band ran the set, catching Bayker up on a speaker cabinet with his guitar raised over the crowd and the quick grins traded between him and his bandmates. The frames move between a hard blue wash and deep red light, some in full color and some pulled to black and white where the expression carried the moment. It is a set built for a rock show: a sunburst Fender, arms in the air, and the small looks between players that the floor never quite sees.
