The god of dirt
came up to me many times and said
so many wise and delectable things, I lay
on the grass listening
to his dog voice,
crow voice,
frog voice; now,
he said, and now,
and never once mentioned forever,
-from "One or Two Things" Mary Oliver
Christopher has been making music since his adolescence. A young fascination with punk rock and grunge propelled him onto the stage at 15 with his bands Fanboys and Side Project. His taste for punk rock was quickly overtaken by a love and resonance with jazz (particularly the deep spirituality of John Coltrane), modern classical music (such as Philip Glass and Stravinsky), and the experimental rock of Radiohead.
Over the years, the melodies and simple chords of folk music have threaded their way through his songs. All of these influences have been wrapped up into a modern Americana.
In addition to being a singer-songwriter, Christopher also performs and composes instrumental fingerstyle guitar music, drawing from the worlds of classical guitar and American folk music.
Christopher is also co-director of the St. Francis University Universe of Song, where he teaches songwriting.

Likewise, I really enjoy your music. And if you're ever down here give me a call. I don't know if your band gigs around, but Asheville has a pretty cool scene for the small city it is.
