The awards will be forgotten and the music will fade away but the photos will continue to tell the stories of the 2020 ACM Awards, country music's strangest awards show in recent memory.
Ep. 1 features an interview with John Shearer.
John is one of country music’s most talented, most popular and most likable photographers. You’ve seen John’s work after every country music awards show since 2015. He comes from California where he started shooting awards shows in 2002.
One of his John’s most famous photos is of Brittany Spears and Madonna kissing.
Maybe more famous is the many album covers John is responsible for, including recent albums from Thomas Rhett and Carly Pearce. Keith Urban is releasing The Speed of Now, Part 1 on Friday and you wanna know who shot the cover? John Shearer.
I like John because he’s easy to work with and because he’s the closest thing I have to a friend to the stars. But come on, see for yourself during Episode 1 of the country music media podcast.
Here are links to some of the photos we talked about:
Brittany Spears kissing Madonna at the 2003 MTV VMAs
Thomas Rhett and the "War Room"
