Jon Behm has a deep love of both photography and music, and enjoys being able to bring these things together for How Was the Show.
Jon can often be found in Minneapolis venues, photographing shows, getting in your way, and being a general nuisance. While he loves writing about music, he sometimes is guilty of having his head up his ass. This doesn't necessarily mean he needs to be reminded of this by you via email.
If you see Jon at a show (recognizable by lack of skinny jeans and converse shoes), buying him a Jameson makes an excellent introduction. Buy him two and he will be putty in your hands. Three however will inevitably lead to the invocation of dark magic, incessant pirate imitations, and possible cannibalism.
