View post →I’m a Bob Dylan fan. I think he is a genius. AND I finally had the opportunity to see him last Saturday night at the Beacon Theatre in New York City! Not the easiest place to draw as it was very DARK, but between my memory of what he looks like and the little that […]

View post →Sorry about the late post today, I was out late last night at the Replacements concert in Forest Hills, NY. It was their first appearance in New York in over 20 years! I’ve waited a long time to see them and they didn’t disappoint at all. In my opinion the show could not have been […]

View post →Did you know aside from the voice, flutes are the earliest known musical instruments? Every night I play lullaby’s from around the world to soothe my boys to sleep. It always fascinates me how global this instrument is and how magical their sound can be. Above is a study of flutes I found in the American […]

I took a quick trip down to Philadelphia on Tuesday to see one of my favorite performers (Destroyer) do a solo set. I watched from the balcony and was amazed by how many lights, wires, cables, disco ball!, etc. were hanging from the ceiling in this tiny little place. Greg Betza ©2013

View post →Technically not one drawing (I could have gotten two posts out of this) but I knew when I drew these three that I would post them together. Two gentlemen got on the subway and set up their drums in the center of our car. It’s always the ones that play a different angle that you […]
