g,
Musician of Alternative
Hardcore punk and funk guitar player from Cincinnati, Ohio. He was a member of Sluggo from 1983-1985, then Chris started a rock group called The Mimis, playing with numerous touring acts around the area such as Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Circus Of Power and many others in the heavy rock/grunge vein. The Mimis dissolved after an aborted group move to California. In 1993 Chris founded the funk outfit Shag with the aid of Chris "Freekbass" Sherman. The band quickly developed a huge following on the road, touring incessantly all over the U.S. for five years and releasing two CD's ("Bootsy Collins Presents: SHAG Live!" & "Silver City"). Shag finally called it quits in 1998, but the band has done a few reunions for charity in recent years. In 2008, Chris started writing songs with Chris Doherty, the man behind Boston Hardcore legends Gang Green. The project evolved into a version of Gang Green with Doherty backed by Chris and other Cincinnati players. This version of Gang Green played around the midwest area throughout 2009, coincidentally headlining the 2009 Jockey Club Reunion show. Since early 2010, Chris has been playing and writing songs with Cincinnati's longest running punk band, SS-20.
