Pooneh Presents

It’s hard to overestimate the impact of Texas native Pooneh Ghana’s concert photography style on the Instagram era. On her saturated feed, she’s on tour with all-stars Noah Kahan and Olivia Rodrigo, then back in town for ACL Fest and killer Danny Brown portraits. Locals benefited big-time from her longtime between-Austin-and-L.A. status with the launch of Pooneh Presents, a concert series at Radio Coffee’s excellent second location, Radio/East. Her astute taste in of-the-moment rock, punk, and pop played out in two blowout spring break shows – packing Dry Cleaning, Omni, and Snõõper alongside locals Big Bill and Font – and continues monthly with colorful posters by Austin artist Cat Barrera.
