Music is an auditory experience, but sometimes it takes a photo to truly capture a great show. That’s why URB trained our lens all over the country in 2011, capturing the artists and fans who make an event more than the sum of the music played.

Joining this force of nature is DJ Bass Control who will be spinning a special Independence Day set.
