Chuck ragan

Headliner: chuck ragan and the camaraderie 
Venue: rock city basement
Date:  27 may 2014
Support: billy the kid, Northcote 

I was looking forward to tonight's show as I was a big fan of all the artists.  I've been a big fan of chuck ragan since I first head a flight and a crash some 13 years ago, but obviously now it's acoustic. The revival tour which was founded by chuck ragan is an amazing experience that I have been lucky to witness on two occasions, but tonight was more of a standard gig scenario.

First up tonight was Canada's billy the kid, like a female Ryan Adams excellent soulful music having just signed up with xtra mile I reckon big things lie ahead.  One thing remains elusive thought with billy the kid, I can't find the ep she did with joe from smoke or fire anyway which contains the amazing whiskey!

Next up northcote, saw them for the first time last year with dave hause and he released an amazing self titled album last year in xtra mile. Amazing hooks, great singalong choruses and some great lyrics. A heart performance from northcote.

Next up chuck ragan, what can you say awesome backed with a full band this time including joe Ginsberg and Jon gaunt who also back him on the revival tour.

The songs sounded great with a full band particular those that I haven't heard that way before including tracks like the boat and the trench.

I love this kind of music, I seem to have a connection with the music, the artists and the scene.
