Kemba Live in Columbus, OH— June 20, 2025

Growing up in Akron and being a part of the music scene, all of my peers knew DEVO. They were the band that made it. I never would’ve imagined I’d have the opportunity to photograph them, but here we are. For a band that is pushing fifty years in the industry, DEVO knows how to pull a crowd with their iconic energy. I have never seen Kemba Live so packed and by the end of their set I was in awe of how much they rocked. DEVO put on a full 90-minute set with no opener on their 50 Years of De-Evolution…Continued tour. By the end of it all I knew exactly why they have been so legendary.
