Stacy Ann Schwartz
Stacy Schwartz started working in the Twin Cities music scene around 2006, photographing local bands. Soon after she was hired to shoot live music for Pitchfork, SPIN, the Walker Art Center, 89.3 The Current, The Onion, and various other publications. Stacy has been the Photography Coordinator (among other things) at the undefeated best venue for live music, First Avenue, for over 10 years. She’s lucky to work with both up and coming and veteran photographers. Stacy photographs multiple concerts each year while squeezing in time to work at the record counter at The Electric Fetus, where she has worked since 2008. Stacy has two kids and a husband who also love music, although tastes vary widely.
