Chris DiMarco and the Campfire Jams

About Me

From the depths of the black rocky mountains in Colorado comes the greatest, the ultimate, the extraordinary......DiMarco.......*dah dah dahhhh*My name is Christopher DiMarco. Some call me the "greatest composer of our era", some call me "that guy." I've taken the time to write songs over the years to ease my intense emotional pain and subdue my inner demons. These demons scream at me during the night, telling me to write songs that rock...write songs that jam....write songs that exist for the sake of existing....For the sake of music....the sake of our planet....Mother Earth......But actually, I just write songs and record them in my basement. I'm looking for people to play this shit live with, so if you're down, shoot me me an email. I've been so sick of the radio, and I've found myself listening to a lot more of the classics. Back in the day I feel they had songwriting down. It was more carefree; less emphasis on how exact timing was and how exact every note had to be. I feel that precision should never exist in music; it's defeating the purpose. We're all humans, we're not perfect. If we expect our perfect art to represent our minds, bodies, and souls...we're misrepresenting ourselves. This may be a random tangent, but it's what I like about The Campfire Jams... I want to be free with music, and I want you all to relate, be free, and find whatever happiness you can.

if you want to hear good music

turn to the 60's...todays music has nothing. Even the "good" bands have nothing. Listen to Led Zepplin, and you will find the truth.
