Demeanor
Born and raised in Calgary Alberta, Kris started performing
at age five by lip synching 'El Condor Pasa' to living rooms
full of suburban street urchins. Ten years later he penned
his first tune, 'I Found Something in the Bed Today', awakening
a passion for writing songs and a suspicious disposition.
Kris sharpened his musical teeth on the streets of Europe
and the Middle East, returning to Calgary in 1994 to form
Tinderbox, a power folk trio that for three years played everything
from poetry stages to punk festivals.

August 8 the blu collars
In its current duo formation, the blu collars proudly hold
up their small city working class roots as the most significant
influence on their musical style, thus the name of the band.
Formed in early 2002, the blu collars are; Susan Odle - lead
vocals/rhythm guitar/percussion and Mike Abbott - backing
vocals/lead guitar. Mike takes over lead vocals on a number
of songs. This proudly Canadian duo's blue-collar roots are
clearly evidenced in the raw original music that they write
as well as the artists and songs that they interpret. Influences
fall equally between folk rockers such as Steve Earle and
the Indigo Girls to punk/alternative rockers such as The Clash
and Concrete Blonde. Their music is filled with vivid guitar
arrangements, strong vocals and lyrical content that is accessible
and relevant to everyone on some level.
