Under The Gun sent photographer, Derek Scancarelli, to Irving Plaza in New York City to photograph Chuck Ragan & The Camaraderie on April 18, 2014.
Last week, you may have seen UTG TV’s exclusive interview with The White Buffalo. Briefly after the interview, I was fortunate enough to shoot the most well-crafted musicians I’ve seen in a while.
The eclectic sound and instrumentation of Chuck Ragan‘s newest musical endeavor is unrivaled in today’s musical climate. His straightforward and authentic approach to songwriting isn’t overwhelmed by the enormous stand-up bass or violin performing next to him on stage. Ragan, who you’ll recognize as the frontman of influential punk band Hot Water Music, has a genuinely appreciative and kind-natured personality which is what makes seeing him live so entirely necessary if you’re a fan of his recorded tunes. He’s a real “shoes off his feet” type of guy.
Jake Smith, who performs under the pseudonym The White Buffalo, also puts on a fantastic demonstration of how quality heartfelt music will always prevail in the chests and minds of listeners. It’s important to remember to immerse yourself into something once in a while. If you’re looking to relax and go on an emotional and intimate musical experience, Shadows, Greys and Evil Ways is probably your best bet in 2014.
Check out below for photos from the show.
