Great idea for a thread!
Band photo's are always a bit tricky and sort of a pain to do. Here's one that we did for Stay Tuned a couple of years ago....
2015 Chevy Silverado
2 bottles of Knob Creek bourbon
1953 modified Kay string bass named "Bambi"
Fun idea Aran. I don't have any professional shots to share, but we do have one candid shot and one semi candid shot that I think are pretty good. Our bass player missed the dress code memo in the first shot, guess his golf game ran late. I'm hoping we can get an endorsement deal from the second shot ...
1924 Gibson A Jr. Snakehead
2004 Elkhorn A-5, #3
2016 White F-5, #6
I wish i could !. The photos of my band disappeared over 40 years back. Unfortunately they were also the ones taken at the venue where we opened for Bill Monroe & the boys in 1966. BM's Banjo player at the time,Lamar Grier, could be seen sitting at the side of the stage during our 2nd spot,

This'd be the Moss Pickers... Louisiana's Southernmost String Band!
Here's a shot of my jazz group. The fact that we're all wearing black shirts is purely a coincidence.

Here's a picture of a band I used to be in.

A couple of bands I was in from way back. Park bench shot of Wonderbeans was from late 1970s and Tunesmith from around mid-1980s.

This is a picture from a contra dance we played last October. It was a balmy 40 degrees in the old barn the dance was held at. Note the little heaters on the floor in front of us. Billy Mathews on fiddle, James Eyman on mandola, Christine Breen on the banjo and me, Paul Breen on guitar. I think this was the coldest gig yet. We called ourselves Willy and the North Polecats.

Here is my favorite photo of the SSB, taken with an old, wooden cased, large format, poloroid camera. It was at a music retreat in Bath NC. I am the one holding a 1932 National Triolian tenor guitar.

Jason:
Yes that is Larry Cohen on bass in the photo of Fred's Mobile Homes. Other group members are Beth Mead, banjo; Peter Lorch, guitar; and me, George Abramson on mandolin and guitar.
Patrick, that is an absolutly wonderful photo of your group. Kudo's to the photographer for capturing the moment.
