About Me

Chris Buckridge is from Canton, Ohio, and always will be. He's lived in Brooklyn since 2000, writing and recording his own songs and helping out his friends with theirs. When Chris plays with himself (haha) he plays drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, and sings. When he plays with other people, he mostly plays bass, but has been known to do all of the above, plus alto sax. Chris Buckridge is currently a member of the Ne'er Do Evers (his songs) and Balthrop, Alabama (Pascal's songs) and has played with the likes of Tavo Carbone (of the Deedle Deedle Dees), El Alto, Kyle Fischer (of Rainer Maria), Leah Hayes, Michael Leviton, Moonshine Messiahs, Oskar Saville (now of 10,000 maniacs), Jason Springwell, Sunschool, and probably more I can't remember. He also haunts recording studios, such as Drummerman Studios (Geoff Mann), Fretman Studios (Brad Craig), and his own damn living room. Chris has released four albums... two solo (2003's Swear Jar and 2006's Vessels EP), and two albums with the Ne'er do Evers (2003's self-titled, and 2007's Idiot Garden.) His songs are published by Loperamide Music (ASCAP), as well.
