Who the f*ck is Matt Christine?!

Yeah, that’s a fair question - I ask it to myself at least once a week to be honest. My name is Matt Christine and I’ve been chasing “the shot” at concerts & events for the better part of a decade now. Across the metaverse people know me as @matt_christine_ and in the real world I’ve been called many things including venue marketer, occasional tour photographer, graphic designer and of course - concert photographer. Since 2011, I’ve been actively freelancing as a photographer within the concert and event industry with my work being published internationally by the Grammys, Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, Revolver Magazine, The Huffington Post, Guitar World, Pollstar, The Verge, Entertainment Weekly, Modern Drummer & more. In 2018 I received the IAVM 30 Under 30 Award for my work with ASM Global as the Director of Marketing for the Santander Arena and Santander Performing Arts Center in Reading, PA.

Kristi Burnison

Feature Writer

Far away in a land where they say things like “Yeah, youbetcha” and “Don’tcha know?” resides rock-loving, head-banging Kristi Burnison. Growing up in the land of country music, Kristi had the type of parents that gave her freedom to explore and enjoy different genres of music. She’s the girl you find air drumming her steering wheel at stop lights and head banging at her desk. Kristi loves all things animals and nerdy. If you can’t find her at the nearest rock show, she’s probably rolling in the grass with puppies because she loves dogs as much as she loves music. With a passion for photography and an imagination large enough to fill a library, Kristi joins Rock Documented with renewed vigor for the music industry. You see those ear buds in her ears? They aren’t playing Taylor Swift. They’re playing I Prevail. Let’s get rowdy.

This metal-loving gal grew up a huge fan of country music...but slowly made her way to the dark side thanks to the stellar musical tastes of her now-husband Mike...finding a connection to the heavy riffs and thoughtful lyrics of bands like Alter Bridge, Stone Sour, and Nothing More. When she isn't working her "day job," you'll find Carrie doing yoga, cooking some weird vegetarian meal, planning her next tattoo, or in the front row of a rock concert, singing every word.
