charles, bryan, david, dalton & sam

The Charles Richards Movement hails from Covington, Louisiana. Playing Americana music throughout the region, the band is dedicated to preserving the essence of American roots music combining elements of country, rock, blue grass, blues and a bit of New Orleans R &B. CRM is Sam Giberga (acoustic guitar, vocals), Dalton Lambert (lead guitar), Charles McGowan (bass guitar), David Gruning (key boards, organ, harmonica and vocals) & Bryan Schmidt (percussion).

So, who in the heck is Charles Richards? That's a bit of a long story, but, he's the dude in the portrait. For years -- before there was a band -- Sam, Charles (McGowan) and Dalton would get together and play at Charles' studio in Abita Springs, Louisiana and play music they loved just for the fun of it. Charles' is an artist and strewn about his place are some pretty phenomenal paintings. One is a self-portrait by another artist by the name of Charles Richards, who died several years ago. This portrait is very intense, and the guys always felt as though Charles Richards was in the room with them as they played and worked out tunes. When offered their first gig, a name was needed. The Charles Richards Movement was settled on. The band still holds rehearsals at the Abita Springs studio and Charles Richards is still very much part of the band!
