About

For over 20 years, photographer and hype man Allen Keppen has been having a series of good nights! Celebrating live music and events in Rochester, NY and beyond, he has branded his good times as "I had a good night dot com," making a name for himself and his website, before it even existed.

​

It all started with a giant lighter he would bring out to events and have people pose with. This initial prop morphed into a wearable sign that transformed into many reiterations of itself to create a real presence among those who were out having a good night in the Rochester area. Expanding to festivals and bigger events, Allen went on to meet many famous musicians and performers, including Snoop Dogg, ________. and ______. Recognizing his desire for everyone to simply, "have a good night", performers love Allen for the enthusiasm and celebratory vibes he brings to events and spaces.

​

After years of documenting good nights in town, his amateur photo skills had morphed into a professional hobby, one which he found himself rather good at. Today, he still can be found having a good night watching live music at a variety of local venues, taking photographs and sharing them online. He also offers services to music venues, bands, event promoters, and hosts including photography and promotional and marketing services.
