A dynamic, fish-eye lens photograph of musician Jeremy Gloff performing live on stage at Crowbar in Ybor City, Florida, on July 3, 2025. The artist stands center stage on a distressed reddish wood floor, leaning forward to extend a microphone toward the viewer with one hand while pointing their other arm upward. They are wearing a red and blue baseball cap, sunglasses, a black graphic t-shirt, and dark athletic shorts. Behind the performer is a full drum kit, stage monitors, and a dark curtain backdrop illuminated by pink and purple stage lights, with a venue merch area visible to the right.
