Time and Place: Crowd favorite

I photographed Decatur-raised rapper, B.o.B., at Smith’s Olde Bar on Oct. 18 with little knowledge of his music. I spoke to some people about him before the show and heard that he was “the new Andre 3000,” and that “if the recession hadn’t hit, he’d be multi-platinum by now.” No amount of hype could have prepared me for those next two hours of live music. B.o.B.’s talent was immediately clear. What was more endearing was that he was having fun. He tore on to the stage, rapping and playing guitar, and had the whole crowd grinning ear to ear.

“new Andre 3000″?… uh, not really

To say he was energized would be selling him short–to say the show was phenomenal would be an understatement. A memorable night for sure.
