Hi all! Cathy here once again, Chris’s trusty social-networking-booking-agent-manager. Chris is über-busy this week. He and Brett are in Richmond right now, recording lots of phenomenal new tunes at Jake Thro’s “Studio Eh?” pad for his upcoming album, “Virginia Is For Hoverers, Part 2″, available May 1st.
This Friday, Chris will play a show with the amazing Gills and Wings band at the Capital Ale House Music Hall in Richmond. If you live in RVA or thereabouts, come on out! Chris’s set starts around 9:30, full band, with Gills and Wings playing around 10:30. If you’ve never heard G&W they’re a powerhouse! You’re gonna love their sound. Check out their music here.
If you’ve noticed some neat looking “Chris buttons” on the right side of the homepage, those are button links especially for those Chris fans who have blogs and websites and would like to share their love of Chris with others in a less invasive way than bombarding friends and family with emails, tweets and Facebook page invites. These are all effective means as well, or you can try my favorite, the CMI (Chris Merritt Immersion) technique: playing Chris’s music spontaneously in a closed vehicle or room with another human being and not saying a word until they exclaim in utter astonishment, “Who IS this amazing guy and where can I get his CD??” 
Also, coming up NEXT WEEK, New York City-area fans can catch Chris and Brett in an acoustic appearance at Manhattan’s Angels and Kings bar/lounge on Wednesday, Feb. 24th at 9pm. This is one of the most publicized, well-trafficked bars in NYC. Check out their site here. I hear there’s 2 for 1 drinks from 7-9pm, so get there early to hear some other great performers and, dare I say it, whilst double fisting?
Chris will post another blog very soon, so in the meantime, spread the word about these shows. Thanks so much!
~ Cathy

@Juliette Excellent!
Also I forgot to mention that the Richmond poster artist put the wrong show time so go by what I listed, even better get there at 9pm and Chris will start somewhere between 9:15 and 9:30. There’s a happy hour music event in the hall from 5-8pm so both bands have to wait to sound check after all of that is done.
Boohisss, wrong land mass
One day, I swear I’ll be about when Mr. Chris plays. I may be 60 years old though.
