About Me

Christopher is a music lover first and foremost. A believer that that the vibration of sound can uplift, teach, and heal. The people he admires all share this common sensibility.Chasing the sound, he has performed and recorded playing guitar, bass, piano, saxophone, drums and percussion of all shapes and sizes, didgeredoo, and theremin, as well as singing lead and harmony vocals. Recording, engineering, mixing, and mastering skills round out the equation. His musical history includes names like Eddy and The Cruisers, Frankenbury, Bliss Family Jive, Sleepy Hollow, Astrolab, Spaghetti Cake, and The FBombz.A graphic designer by trade, Christopher has always applied his visual sense to music as well, working on projects for and about The Sun Ra Arkestra, The Black Crowes, Yogi, Flipper Dave, Shortness, Mr. Fables, and 91.7 WHUS FM.As a solo artist, MySpace, marks the first time ever that Mr. E has released any of the many solo recordings made in various studios, basements, and attics through the years. Many of the songs posted here have never even been heard by family and friends. ..
