The Chuck Shaffer Picture Show is a rock trio full of power and energy. It was refreshing and enjoyable to see a younger band like this given the opportunity to be a part of a Festival like the Revolt On The Rio Grande Day 2/Rock Star Energy Drink Uproar Festival 2013. To be able to perform with legendary musicians must be a dream come true for aspiring musicians Ryan Johnson – Lead Vocals/Guitar, David Stiefel/Bass, Adam Gilbert/Drums. Hailing from Richmond, Virginia these guys are bringing their brand of kick ass Rock N’ Roll to the ears of the world. We had the chance to sit down with the guys and do a quick preshow  interview before shooting their set. Enjoy the interview and them check out some live shots of their performance. Here’s the interview:

(if you look at the table in the background you might see Jerry Cantrell and Duff McKagan sitting there…)

     The Chuck Shaffer Picture Show puts on a live show full of energy and incredible talent. The crowd was fully engaged and drawn into their music.
