Since I got back from the X Games, I've been filling my time with taking care of nagging loose ends here at work and just getting back on track after being out of town for two weeks in January. I've also paid a couple more visits over to my favorite radio station, 102.3 KCUV, to shoot a couple of portraits of visiting musicians who've played in the KCUV Music Loft.
In honor of Fat Tuesday, they brought in Doug Kershaw, a 72 year old firecracker whose played with the likes of Johnny Cash, Willy Nelson and Charlie Daniels to name a few. He was quite an act to see and he even did it with 6 stitches in his pinky that he cut when he picked up an empty wine glass that broke in his hand at his cajun restaurant up in Greeley the other day.
Another musician I had a chance to photograph is a guy named Chuck Prophet who just came out with a new album called Soap & Water. He played a song called "Freckle Song" that is from the new album and I really dug it. He has some bluesy tendencies in his music with some different lyrics that take you through everyday experiences that confront everyone. He just has a unique way of observing simple things and turning them into songs and I'm looking forward to exploring his music a little more.
Enjoy the pics!

The 72 year young firecracker. He actually played his gig in the Music Loft with a protective golf glove that he cut every finger off of except the pinky to protect the little guy with stitches. Look at the fiddle! I think he told me he's had that thing since 1965!
Chuck Prophet on the roof of the KCUV Studio. Doesn't he just look like he writes different songs?
