We Five has been playing regularly, and Chris has been working on a follow up to "Breakfast In The Sunroom" with Guitarist Akira Harrison, and singer / percussionist Shane Schupbach. Keep an eye out for some acoustic shows in your area.

3/14/08: It was a wild night at the Coffee Gallery Backstage! The store front coffee house and backstage had both been rented out for a location shoot for the t.v. show "The Office." We Five, had a gig at 8:00 P.M., but could not start setting up until 6:00P.M. due to all of the t.v. taping equipment and actors being moved in and out. What looked like a train wreck evening on paper turned out to be a fantastic night of funny stories and music!!! "Catch The Wind" was magical; and, the audience also heard the We Five debut of Jessica Burgan!!! She was a featured vocalist of the song "Someday Soon" and finished out the show with the band on keyboard! Great job Jess!

10/13/06: Sometimes really cool random things happen while playing a gig. One of those special moments occurred at the very end of Chris' final set at Starbucks Coffee tonight. During the outro solo of "Into Wine" a thunder cloud let loose of a torrid lighting Barrage. Chris was sitting in front of a very large plate glass window. As he tore into the closing riffs, the lightning appeared to flash all around him. Chris later said that he thought all the dropped jaws in the audience were for him. Sure they were buddy.

Beyond meeting with so many of you at the venues, the biggest news has been signing on with Heartsong Management to handle the booking of appearances. The tracks for the new CD sound fantastic! As work continues on finishing the new recordings, you can check out many of the tracks at a venue near you (hopefully). -Chris

1/14/06: Ran into rock guitar legend Oz Fox of Stryper the other day. I had not seen him in some 15 years (I used to paint his guitars while at Jackson / Charvel back in the 1980's). Well, you could say there was a lot to catch up on. After reminiscing over coffee with Oz and his friend Michael Durkin, we decided it would be fun to surprise Linda Geleris (I was sharing the bill with her the following night) with a spontaneous jam at Borders Books in Chino. What played out was a 2 hour guitar fest including off the cuffs of some Stryper tunes including "Lady" and "You Know What To Do", Led Zeppelin's "The Rain Song" and "Over The Hills And Far Away", some Buck Owens and Eagles standards and, of course, some tunes from Love, Hope, Faith and Linda's upcoming release. What can I say... Sometimes the magic just happens. If you missed it...

11/5/05: Congratulations to Chris for being awarded an ASCAPLUS Award in the Jazz -- Popular Division! ASCAPLUS Awards are determined annually by a panel of distinguished music experts who are neither members, nor employees of ASCAP, and are completely independent in their Award adjudication. Awards are based on panel review of recent activity of writer applicants. Each applicant is considered on merit and in the context of all others applying. ASCAPLUS is not a contest or competition involving the critical evaluation of any specific work or works. The primary basis for panel determinations is the activity generated by each member's catalog, with emphasis on recent performances.

9/15/05: We had a blast with WE FIVE in San Francisco at USF's 150th B-Day bash!!! The event was extra special because it re-united Bob Jones (the original 12 string guitarist for WE FIVE) with Jerry Burgan and the gang for two nights of a rockin' good time!!! Since the band had it's beginnings at USF the event brought in large alumni crowds to help ring in the event. It was great having Bob and Chris split time between drums and guitars. (Bob was the drummer for Michael Bloomfield after leaving the Five... and Chris grew up in Bob's shadow... so drums were a must).

7/17/05: Thanks to Choppers California Grill for the great memories. We had a blast being in residence. Best of luck

7/15/05: Thanks to those who have been able to come out and support We Five. It has been a great summer of concerts and music.
