I’m back in the studio working on some new material and re-learning my systems. That’s the down side of taking the summer to rehearse and perform; you can forget the nuances far too quickly!

Here’s to 2010: A great year for music!
Posted in Recording, Songwriting with tags Berklee, Ear Training, F. Alton Everest on January 4, 2010 by ChrisHappy New Year to all! Best wishes to everyone for 2010. 
I’m really looking forward to 2010 – the studio calls! I’ve got 2 major studio projects queued up that will begin immediately. One is a secret…the other is to finish the current DV project.
I plan to do some live work as well. I’ve been asked to play some more R&B shows at Summerfest 2010 and the Wisconsin State Fair. Also, I’ll be singing with my good friend Paul Petted and the Jimmers at least a couple of times this year.
We’ll also be developing some new collaboration partnerships, as well as some producing. I also hope to expand my writing network in 2010 with some new artists.
4th of July
Posted in bands, gigs on July 10, 2009 by Chris
Had a great 4th performing at Summerfest this year. Jet was the headliner, along with Royal Bliss, Billy Boy on Poison and then us as the evening line up. It was a bit hectic getting loaded in and out, but turned out to be worth the effort. The crowd was excellent, and the weather was good. Lot’s of old friends came out, and we met some new ones as well.
We spent a little time with the musicians, wives and girlfriends of Royal Bliss. Very cool folks, and hard working. I caught their show after ours, and liked their music very much. They played much of their newest CD, Life In Between.
Rockin’ Summerfest!

We had a great show at Summerfest today. The weather was killer, and the crowd as great. I met Brent Wilson and Jason Ostrander. They are both touring guitarists for Sara Evans who was the headliner on our stage. They were interested in my Mesa Boogie F-30. It’s always a surprise for a lot folks when they see me playing a small combo at a big outdoor show. Truth be told, with a good mic, soundman and monitor mix, my little El84 giant killer is all I need. Anyways, always great to meet some other guitarists and talk gear! I heard them do their sound check (with Sara’s sister Ashley on vocals) and they sounded awesome. What a great day.
