About Me

Well right now it is just me. When I play out I like to have a variety of people play with me. It is always changing. Every musician has a different flavor and I appreciate that. Who am I? I am just a regular guy who loves music and I like to ponder the existential realities of life. I love to be creative and I like diversity. That is the name of my new album which just came out (2005). If you would like a copy of my new CD then lets figure out a way to get it to you. I am not out to get rich so I am just selling it for $10 bucks since I produced it. I love taking part in the Postmodern/Emergent dialogue that is taking place amongst Christians today. It is refreshing, thought provoking and humbling to say the least. MyGen Profile Generator **Create Link Effect**Empty Room

Band Members: Just me and when I play out I like to have different people join me.
Influences: Life experience. Hardships, struggles, trials, pain, suffering, pleasure, Divine Chisels, God.:
Sounds Like: "Mark Karris' CD, "Diversity", lives up to its name with flying colors; Karris' influences for this music cover a wide range which spans the globe, from the middle-east to Latin America to bluegrass country to Jazz. Whether from the acoustic guitar sound of "The Dance" to the more techno-driven "Warfare," Karris' passion for music shines through each piece of music. Most notable, though, is the lyric beauty found in the simplicity of his melodies: They are complex enough to hold the listener's interest, but maintain a simple, folksy beauty."
