THIS IS DIRECT ACTION.

About Me

I am the best imitation of a migrant worker I can be a neo-okie who also is a field recorder, a no-fi producer (Film and Music) and a gypsy in the Guthrie sense. During the summer months I would like to continue traveling from coast to coast working on small farms and engage in field recordings of local musicians. Im not perfect, but come with the best intensions to lend a hand, in exchange for room and board. By supporting artists I have worked with on this page (purchasing their cds) you help me keep moving, working, and recording. Others call it sustainable folk art on a mercantile level. Some people have said, I am trying to bridge the gap, but I think I enjoy both working on farms and lending a hand, and living in a city where I can be involved with arts. If you have a farm or are an artist interested in working with The American Opry, drop me a line.Your Neighbor Chris

21st Century American Folk Music, Vol. 1-Vol.2

For us, listening to a bunch of cds in a random mix format is many times more refreshing than listening to an entire album of material from one band/musician. Returning to a collective approach to li...
