Many mornings I sit with my dear friend, Kristen, over a cup of coffee sharing our dreams, fears and everything in between. One morning she started telling me about the idea of a 10th Anniversary show for TOT at the Ryman. And slowly over the course of the next few months I watched her pursue that dream even when it was scary and so much was at stake. So needless to say, when I walked out into the audience that beautiful Friday evening and stood at the back of the SOLD OUT show, tears flowed from my eyes. My brave, strong, friend brought this dream to fruition for so many. I was such a proud friend that night.

Then on top of that, I was able to watch it all unfold behind my camera. This group of friends, who seem more like family, coming together in the one place where music dreams are born. Their energy and love for one another was so addictive. I seriously did not want the night to end. It truly was a night that will be remembered for a very long time.

Here are a few of my favorite images captured from the evening...
