   About esperi

Photobucket



Esperi is the project of Chris Lee-marr, who plays both solo and with the help of his friends Cat Lee-Marr (harp), Jon Adam (drums), Craig Arnott (bass) and Eilidh Glynn (cello). Chris also plays in the a forest with Cat and Eilidh , and in the kays lavelle .
Esperi have played shows around the uk with such great artists as Sleepingdog , Vessels , Meursault , Brother Louis collective , De Rosa , Trapped in Kansas and have an e.p called 21:21 .

"It’s really difficult to put into words what Chris Lee- Marr’s performance was like. It was quiet, bizarre, breathtaking, claustrophobic, impressive and intense; at times it was just jaw dropping. Playing solo, Chris managed to conjure some absolutely magical moments by combining his unbelievable guitar playing with some quite beautiful moments of musical mayhem. Whether it was by recording himself while playing then adding layer upon layer of instrumentation on top of the recording, or by his magical feet tapping bells while playing guitar, the outcome was some kind of beautiful madness. One of the most low key and laid back performances I have witnessed, at times there was an intensity that made the room feel as if the air had been sucked out and we were left with a vacuum surrounded by music. Set highlights Dialled and Proverb are amazing songs deserving of a huge audience, you can get the Esperi album from the myspace." Glasgow PodcART

Hey Chris, nice to hear from you. How you doing?
Let me know next time your playing in Dundee or nearabouts and i'll do my best to appear.
Love your music, I play a little bit of guitar and do a little singing, but I don't have the imagination to come up with anything good.
Would be cool to meet you properly sometime.
All the best, Irene

yeah some nice guys organised a wee open mic in Cupar so I've been doing that, which is nice, building a bit of confidence, screwing up a lot but doing it with pride haha. Also been songwriting a wee bit, in my hours of spare time that I don't have! Ok, 24th, 24th, 24th, 24th need to get that etched into my brain. :)
