Artists:Chris Pureka
From WWR
|
Chris Pureka started writing songs at the age of 16 and, following in the footsteps of her indie predecessors, began cultivating her fan base at open mics and coffee houses. Even as a young artist she landed opening slots for folk favorites including Erin McKeown, Tami Hart, and Pamela Means. In June 2001, she locked herself in her bedroom with a four track, recorded a 7 song EP, and hit the road for a three month nation-wide tour with progressive folk poet Alix Olson. Subsequently, Chris began to generate much wider spread attention, and earned air-play for her self-titled release on indie radio stations from Oregon to Illinois to Massachusetts. In addition, Chris co-wrote the music for and recorded several tracks on Olson’s first two albums, which included studio collaborations with Catie Curtis, Pamela Means, and Lyndell Montgomery (of the Ember Swift band).
Now, three years since her first tour with Alix Olson, Chris has demonstrated that she can hold her own and has developed a national following with frequent tour stops from New York to Boston, from North Carolina to Portland, Oregon. In the past few years, this artist’s ability to select and translate snapshots of experience into raw, heart-tugging music has brought her out of her bedroom, and into the studio; out of the coffee-house, and onto the main stage. read more.
