Bio
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!
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 Basi. Not far behind Amrit was the Dreamy---Katheryn Petersen squeezing magic from the accordion. Then, straight out of the Blue Sky, fell---Jenny Groover, DeLisa Lewis, and Jack Garton blasting away on their shiny brass Trumpets.
Next, floating down the river that runs through the Blackberry Woods, on his Acoustic bass, came---Michael Allyne! and oh! there's also---Tim Sars up in the lychee tree tooting his little sax and honkin' his Humogous saxophone. Last but not least---Jenn Hamer 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, jazzing it up via a bit of modern lap top enchantments, this little Orchestra conjures up some of the most wondrous music for the whole world to enjoy!
