Copperhead Chris & The Snake Charmers

About Me

Copperhead Chris and The Snake Charmers is a solo project from the former drummer of legendary and now defunct Gainesville, Florida band Alphabet City , and current drummer of Morningbell . So far, The Snake Charmers are just one person: Chris Hillman. Not THE Chris Hillman of The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, but a pretty good Chris Hillman nonetheless.

Copperhead Chris plays traditional country with some extra weird stuff in it and can whip his weight in wildcats.
