How Ben Christensen and Charley Crockett crossed paths. In life you don’t always get to choose who you ride with, even if you planned to take your journey alone.

“A refreshing reminder of how good raw westerns can be. We’re putting this in our collection.”

If you have left watching this western wanting more, feel free to make any type of donation that will help support future westerns we plan to make. As we all know they don’t make westerns like they used to so this is a small step to do something about it. 

 
 

The Gang

 

Ben Christensen

Director & Lead

Ben Christensen is a western lifestyle photographer. In his work, Ben aims to capture the simplicity of the American West and everything that comes with it. This often means drawing on the sentiment depicted in the classic 60s and 70s western films Ben grew up with. He says that living his own western, and doing so as authentically as possible, is both the personal and professional goal.

Charley Crockett

Lead & Original Music

Growing up with a single mother in San Benito, Texas, the hometown of Tejano star Freddy Fender was not easy for blues singer Charley Crockett. Hitchhiking across the country exposed Crockett to the street life at a young age, following in the footsteps of his relative, American folk hero Davy Crockett, who also lived a wild life on the American frontier. After train hopping across the country, singing on the streets for change in New Orleans’ French Quarter, busking in New York City and performing across Texas and Northern California, Crockett set off to travel the world and lived on the streets of Paris for nearly a year before searching for home in Spain, Morocco, and Northern Africa.
