DESCRIPTION:
Christopher Lockett is a cinematographer and film director. He is also a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter with two albums out on his own Gritbiscuit Records.

Restless by nature, he has shot films and tv shows on five continents, often picking up local instruments and incorporating them into his songs. A typical live set often includes kalimba, blues harmonica, and jaw harp alongside the acoustic guitar and vocals.

American Songwriter magazine said Lockett is "a country songwriter swimming against the prevalent Nashville current of pop country to return to the deep waters of songwriters like Townes Van Zandt and Steve Earle. A substantial and soulful songwriter of the highest degree, and a deeply emotive singer, Mr. Lockett is making deeply satisfying music, the kind of music that keeps you going even through the toughest of times."

Live at Lockett's is an intimate concert series filmed in Christopher Lockett's living room in Los Angeles. It features artists from LA's eclectic roots music and poetry scenes. The performers are grounded in a roots tradition, but are not bound by it.

One camera, one lens, no zooms, no cuts, not even a microphone in frame - just a lone shotgun mic mounted overhead in a c-stand. Nothing between the performer and the audience.
