My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 20/09/2005
Band Website: www.christymerry.com
Band Members: As I said, it’s just me (and I currently don’t play any instruments, so I am not performing/recording right now). But on the songs posted, keys on Peter’s Lullaby are by Brian Kehew - it was just a rough mockup of the song we threw down on a CD one night...and then Eric Bloom from Old Souls on guitar on Love Like Water (and he wrote the music for that song, I just wrote the lyrics)...a ’home recording’ done in haste before I moved to NYC...and the last one is an oldie but goodie from Old Souls: Eric Bloom wrote the lyrics/music, Guillermo Mendoza is on electric, & Steven Kelly Denman on drums -- For myself these days, still looking for musicians & collaborators, so let me know if anyone is interested...
Influences: Over the Rhine, Hoi Polloi, Fleming & John, Sarah Harmer, The Violet Burning, Kate Price, Happy Rhodes, Innocence Mission, PFR, U2, Rachel Kurtz, Sixpence None the Richer, Becky Schlegel, Kasey Chambers, etc etc
Sounds Like: None of this is probably true - but these are the comments I've gotten at times: Karin Bergquist of Over the Rhine, Karin Peris of Innocence Mission, Alanis Morrisette, Leigh Nash of Sixpence, Tori Amos, Gwen Stefani, Joni Mitchell...? I have no idea. :)
Type of Label: Unsigned
