Red River Music Photography
Red River is the spine of Austin's music. Mohawk. Stubb's. Cheer Up Charlies. Beerland. Valhalla. Elysium. Six venues, three blocks. One continuous show during SXSW. J. Clark works the corridor for festival coverage, official showcases, unofficial day parties, and the late-night sets between 1 and 3am.
Lighting changes every twenty feet. Mohawk's outdoor: neon and string lights. Stubb's: full stage wash. Cheer Up: barely lit on purpose. Settings stay flexible. Edits back inside 24 hours during festival weeks.

Mohawk, Stubb's, Cheer Up Charlies, Beerland, Valhalla, Elysium, plus the side stages and parking-lot shows that pop up along the corridor during SXSW. If it's on Red River between 6th and 12th, it's covered.
Does J. Clark shoot SXSW showcases in the Red River District?

How fast are Red River show photos turned around?
Selects within 24 hours during festival weeks so bands can post while momentum is live. Full edited gallery in 5 to 7 days for non-festival shows.
Can J. Clark cover multiple bands across the same Red River night?
