With Hot Water Music back together and on the road, Chuck Ragan is planning to play a number of acoustic solo gigs in between the band's much anticipated shows. He'll be supported by Ben Nichols of Lucero and Joshua English of 6 Going On 7.
Chuck recently announced a self–released collaboration with Joe Gaunt, Austin Lucas, Bob Lucas and Digger Barns. The 12 song record features three Chuck Ragan originals, four from Austin Lucas, three Ragan/Lucas joint efforts, one original by Bob Lucas, and two old standards. Chuck described the record as having a "very strong sense of bluegrass, folk and old time gospel." A release date is to be announced.
Chuck released his studio solo debut, Feast or Famine, earlier this year on SideOneDummy.
