Vocalist and co-songwriter to UK band BOA. Boa's music is essentially a mix of rock/ world/ blues and country, and their song Duvet went on to be used as the title track to anime Serial Xperiments Lain. Since that time, Boa have recorded two albums, Twilight and Get There and released an EP with Belgian distributors Dybex, currently awaiting release. My own work has included two songs, Armitage-Near Me and Baby Yoko for the soundtrack of Japanese/US collaboration anime, Armitage III. I am currently collaborating with different producers and working on acoustic songs of my own, experimenting with my own sound and lyrics. My only real interest in music is to explore sounds that move me, they could be my own or other peoples, and that feeling that you get when it moves you is my main addiction.

*************************

 Free will  playing below - This track reminds me of the  Edgar Broughton band .From the late 60s

A blend of classic rock and blues with a shot of funk. Simple bass and guitar lines that stick, plus vocals with character and passion. You will want to move. We have been told we sound like: the kings of leon, rainbow, deep purple, reef, free, rooster, doors (their early stuff), the black crowes, bad company, g-love and the special sauce, jet, black rebel motorcycle club, the verve, queens of the stone age, nick cave and the bad seeds, the white stripes, the rolling stones, lynyrd skynyrd, lady mercedes, electric shades of blue, ac/dc, the alo, the doors, lenny kravitz, the who, captain beefheart, jimmy hendrix, "led zepplin goes to the beach", "the beatles around the time they made come together" and "you guys really take me back to the 60's".

Congratulations FREE WILL on releasing your first EP !

Give Chris a listen. He is very taleted !!

Chris Simmons

Another band Chris was with

I  have a very wide, yet highly selective range of influences... Starting with Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Freddie King and BB King  I put Mr. Johnson at the top of acoustic blues and everyone else a distant second. Muddy stands way out to me when it comes to the real blues electrified. The two kings are my faves when it comes to the blues solo guitar. I got into Eric Clapton with cream and blind faith and derek and the dominoes... and Duane Allman and the allman brothers pretty heavy and that really led me to the even older blues. I also got in to Peter Green pretty heavy for awhile. before I played guitar I was really into prince. I thought he was super cool and I was right. van halen is what made me beg my mom for my first guitar.

 Before I got into any of the old blues or Allmans or Clapton, I was a 100% AC/DC fanatic. I still am, just to a lesser percent, more like 95%. I think angus young's guitar is really what introduced the blues to me in the first place. Led Zeppelin, GOD! they're great! the who, I like their power. don't forget skynyrd. My favorite vocalist in the world is Paul Rodgers. FREE and Bad Company and everything else up to Queen.  

 

KOZMIC MAMA

CARLA RUSSELL is the focal point of blues/soul/rock outfit Kozmic Mama.

 She has Janis's raw edge and Aretha's soul, but brings a modern edge to everything she does.

KOZMIC MAMA has developed a solid following of fans through club dates,

 concerts, parties, radio shows and festival appearances.

 Their music and steady demand of performances has brought about a new and exciting sound appealing to all!

Acting was David Kossoff's third career choice, after first working as an interior designer and then as an aviation draftsman. On stage from the early 1940s, Kossoff exploited his Slavic name and mittel-European bearing in dozens of "foreign" character roles. His better-known film assignments include the part of Carrington the junk dealer in the 1956 version of 1984 and befuddled nuclear scientist Professor Kokintz in The Mouse That Roared. David Kossoff was a regular on the British television series The Larkins and A Little Big Business, and also gained a fan following for his recitations from the Bible on a number of TV variety series. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
