Vocalist/lyricist/percussionist Cris Lockridge started out his career with a microphone and a Rogers drum kit at the age of twelve. He was a founding member of local bands The Forest and Not For Sale, and has performed at a variety of venues across southwestern Missouri. Cris enjoys playing live whenever possible, but has recorded several in-studio demo projects over the years. His long-awaited first "official" release was repeatedly delayed by circumstances beyond reasonable control. However, Cris is confident that 2008 will be "the year," and is dead-set on greatly exceeding all expections.
Note: the songs displayed on this page are merely unpolished samples from Cris' portfolio - they are works-in-progress, and are slated to be rerecorded for the debut album. These rare versions of Cris' best-known songs have been provided to give you a general idea of the tone and theme of his music.
