Blackberry Wood is a wonderful, secret and Magic combination of original oldstyle alt-country / ragtime / Circus / Gypsy music, and up to date grooves such as exotic worldbeats / hipnotic Hip-Hop / upjumpin' Ska, and other irresistible body shakin' / foot stomping delights.
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---It was a hit! A jam packed show! They were invited back the next year! After a few more gigs and after 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 the master of drums---Amrit Basi. Not far behind Amrit was the Dreamy---Kathryn Petersen squeezing magic from the accordion. Then, straight out of the Blue Sky, fell---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 Alleyne! and oh! there's also---Jenn Hamer adding her percusive golden charms 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 this little Orchestra conjures up some of the most wondrous music for the whole world to enjoy!
