Butcher Brown and The Camel

Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Butcher Brown interpolates jazz, hip-hop, funk, soul, and more into their distinct sonic signature. Hosted by multi-instrumentalist Marcus “Tennishu” Tenney and bassist Andrew Randazzo, this episode delves into the backstory of how the band met each other and The Camel venue owner Lucas Fritz at college, before becoming co-owner of the space in 2016, at the age of 26. 

Lucas Fritz, co-owner of The Camel and its sister venue The Broadberry, first began working at The Camel as an intern in 2009, starting with booking bi-weekly VCU jazz showcases. It was at that VCU jazz program that Fritz befriended and began booking the future members of Butcher Brown, a bond strengthened through their respective work at The Camel.
