That’s been the home and backdrop (quite literally!) for his melodic, visual lyrics. Praised for his songwriting, he is enjoying being back in his inspiring surroundings, even if it’s just another temporary stop between his last tour (with the band, Tall Heights) and... Read More

JADE JACKSON
Photos + Story/Kristy Benjamin Hair + Makeup/Megan Thompson @ AMAX Agency Hi Jade! Thanks for taking the time to talk to LADYGUNN! First, I have to say your album is such a gem.

Track Premiere: Catch Prichard -“The Alleyway”
Story + Photos Kristy Benjamin As a photographer, I never know what’s going to happen when I show up to meet my subjects for a shoot. Will they be shy? Eccentric? Awkward? Maybe a little out-there? Who knows, but I’m stuck with them and they’re stuck with me for a few hours while we take photos. On their end, they’re likely just as curious, but they’re trusting enough in my work to show up.
