DESCRIPTION:
In LA in the late 2000s, Chris met Patria Jacobs through mutual musical comrade Barry Smolin. They all became fast friends, performing together (along with former NYC residents Dudley Saunders and Brian Woodbury) in the West Coast edition of Rebellion Cabaret. Here’s a bootleg of Chris accompanying Patria on sitar for her gorgeous song Poison of the Sea at Echo Curio, an art gallery in Echo Park.
