Chris brings to the band a diverse musical background. After formally studying musical performance on the trombone and other brass instruments throughout high school and college, he added bass and guitar to his repertoire because "...it allowed me to play more rock-n-roll". He has performed with numerous off-Broadway stage ensembles and jazz and rock/R&B bands. He has lived in New York, Dallas-Fort Worth, and San Antonio, and performed and recorded original and cover music of virtually every musical style from Dixieland to heavy-metal and grunge ("but no country"), in several of those region's top bands. He recently returned to the east-coast and his R&B roots with TMD & The Brass Soulution.
