Influences
I started singing 12 verse murder ballads as party pieces for my parents at about the age of 4!!! & guess them old English/American folk songs have been a big influence. Influences include: Vocal Harmonies, Hedy West, Shirley Collins, New Lost City Ramblers. The Everly Brothers, Dolly Parton, Steve Earl, & lots of new alt country: Wilco, The Jayhawks,RYAN ADAMS, Iris Dement,The Be Good Tanyas & Jolie Holland.Ricky Lee Jones. alongiside Warren Zevon, The Men They Couldn't Hang, The Waterboys, The Clash, The Pogues, Nick Cave, the Richie era of the Manic Street Preachers & Radiohead. Love The Herbaliser, KRS 1. De La Soul, Public Enemy& funkdoobiest. Beverly Knight. I'm also up for some Bonnie Prince Billy & love Devandra Banheart.How much of this comes across in my music I dont know! The Sea (Stormy or calm) is another big influence. Presently, most played on my turntable is ANYTHING- by Rufus Wainwright. Traveling is an influence (India is my big passion).
Am also inspired by the writings of KARL MARX, JOHN PILGER, NOAM CHOMSKY & FREEDOM FIGHTERS WORLD WIDE.
Sounds Like
Have been told there's a little Be Good Tanyas vibe in my music (which isnt true but has pleased me very much) and also a touch of Dolly!

My heart is with rootsy folk country music but i love most music styles...
I write & record as a solo artist, collaberating with dance/hip hop artists,Including the Band ORBITAL (I sang on the chart hit 'Funny Break, One is Enough - available on the 'All together' album and the Best of Orbital). Voted single of the year in 2001 by readers of FUTURE MUSIC Magazine. I sang this tune live on LATER WITH JOOLS HOLLAND'. I've sang on some other club hits too.Presently, im mainly doing solo acoustic gigs...
I love SAD, SAD, SAD songs, dark & happy songs! political songs, historical songs, love songs & hate songs. I spent much of the summer of 2007 joining THE MEN THEY COULDN'T HANG during their spots at the various summer festivals. This year in march I did my first national tour supporting JUSTIN CURRIE of DEL AMITRI. Amoungst others i have previously supported THEA GILMORE/BERT JANCH & BERNARD BUTLER/KATHRINE WILLIAMS/DAR WILLIAMS/SON VOLT/MEN THEY COULDN'T HANG

Hello, after an unfortunate hiatus, the reasons for which are probably best not gone into here, we finally have some new music on the AUK MySpace site. For your listening pleasure this month we offer Nathan Oliver, Conrad Ford, the irrepressible Todd Snider and the delightful Beccy Owen. Don't forget too, for those of you within striking distance of Leicester, Electric Dustbowl 2 on 19 September.
I'm hitting the road in a couple of weeks to raise money for War Child, Coast-to-coast – 50 cities – ALL PROCEEDS TO WARCHILD. Why? 66% of all war victims are CHILDREN. Shocked like me? War Child helps these children that have been affected by war. Check out the new blog – the whole story is up there. Love to have you be a part of it.
You’ll find a Blog, Tour page and a Bio page. I’ll be blogging daily from the road.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
Christian
