About Me

Hey - my name's Chris, and I play bass and sing in a few musical endeavors around Newfoundland. These days I'm playing regularly with the Tequila Rockingbirds, Funky Dory, and Denielle Hann (see upcoming shows).I have also played with Clockwork, the Quartertones, Andrew Bown, Tandem Groove, the Mount Pearl Show Choir, Jason Hayward & 9 Lives, and Spirit of Newfoundland Dinner Theaters, as well as my own material.Right now I'm in my second year at Memorial University of Newfoundland's school of music, where I'll be majoring in double bass performance. I'm also working on a jazz record which will be completed by the end of the year, and Funky Dory's new album. Keep checking back for new updates!

Great scot! Marty, we have to go back... to the ----------!
