Chris Bramble started his music career at the age of 7 when he joined the church choir,  where he learned the love of affecting people through music.

His eclectic influences include: Bruce Cockburn, Steve Kimock, Bob Marley, Grateful Dead, King Sunny Ade, Kate Wolf, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix and traditional Appalachian and Celtic.

Chris stayed committed to his music and his dream to make a positive contribution to the world even during the most challenging of times. While working full-time, raising two children, divorce and a string of Volvos keeling over, Chris was able to write songs and play gigs culminating in years of music making and the release of his self produced CD "Laugh at the Wind."

The CD is named after the title track which is a song encouraging us all to plow through the adversities of life with laughter.  "We Dance the Night Away" is currently recieving the most airplay, including the nationally syndicated "Dead Hour", appropriate as it relates experiences from being on tour. Also included in this press kit is "And the Sky Cried" -  a song is in memory of environmental activist Judi Bari who dedicated her life to stopping the clear cutting of the redwood forests in the Pacific Northwest during the ravages of the 80's.

The basic tracks for "Laugh at the Wind" were recorded live in the studio keeping in alignment with the band's musical philosophy of playing real and in the moment.
