A FEW REVIEWS

Stuart Derdeyn, Vancouver Provence, February 6th, 2009
"High-powered acoustic dance music aptly describes the bohemian beat. It's a sound that works in clubs, parties, big festivals -- you name it."

Streethawk Magazine, June 18th 2007
"Blackberry Wood – a motley crew of guitar, horns, and accordion led by Music Waste's originator Kris – kept up the night's fun energy with a sound best described as bar mitzvah-meets-barndance."

The Vancouver Observer, April 8th 2008
"Were they country, were they rock, were they polka, or were they punk? Were they burlesque? Or were they just plain fun? Yes!"

Stuart Derdeyn, Vancouver Provence, April 22nd, 2008
"Blackberry Wood's new CD "Travelling Horse Opry" is a likely hit."

Kevin Potvin, Republic of East Vancouver, August 14th, 2008
"gave me the impression of a big modern inner-city version of the traditional hoedown in the neighbours barn kind of night. I felt something like what i imagine farmers felt when they hung up their overalls for the week and hustled down to the crossroads for a little long-awaited good ol' jumping around to shake out all the kinks of field work"



OUR STORY (and we're sticking to it!!!)

Blackberry Wood is a wonderful, secret and Magic combination of original Alt-country/ragtime/Circus/Gypsy music, BIG party grooves like exotic Worldbeats, headbobbin' HipHop, jumpin' Ska, and other irresistible body shakin' an' foot shuffling stuff.

It all started when a friend asked Kris and Corinne if they would Play a New Years Gig, four days before New Years Eve. In a frenzy-- Kris and Corinne whipped together their strangest mix of original material---and it was a hit, impressing all the loggers and fishermen and surfers! Needless to say they where invited back for the next New Years Party. After a few more gigs, and Kris churning out a huge batch of sweet songs, they decided to invite more musicians into the swamp stompin' Blackberry Woods. Muahahahaha.... First to come stumbling down the hill and waltzing in, came a slightly intoxicated and very crazy drummer---Amrit. Not far behind Amrit was the Dreamy---Katheryn squeezing magic from the accordion. Then, straight out of the Blue Sky, fell---DeLisa, and Jack blasting away on their shiny brass Trumpets. Next, floating down the river that runs through the Blackberry Woods, on his Acoustic bass, came---Michael! and oh! there's also---Jenn adding her percusive golden touches that shake up the woods! Now, with---Corinne playing Saxophone, and singing like a nightingale, and with---Kris on Guitar, singing with his raspy half Country half Rap/Hip-Hop heart out, this little Orchestra conjures up some of the most wondrous music for the whole world to enjoy!

Hi, Just wanted to invite you to our Vancouver album release show. Instead of a typical evening show, we were able to organize an outdoor matinee at 2pm on Sunday, October 25th right in the heart of Vancouver! It's at a place called 'Le Mirage' and its a converted 48 passenger coach and surrounding gardens at 345 E 1st Ave (across from Artech Lofts). There will be homemade perogies, ethically raised pork, home made beer, hot chocolate, and several musical acts, including Acres and Acres, Jon Mckiel, and Klarka Weinwurm (all from Halifax). I can't wait for this show. Tell your friends! Dave
