CHRIS BEACHY

Banjo, Backing Vocals

Christopher, better known as KrissCross by his lovers, is a man of many interests. He dabbles in spurlunking and parasailing, but his favorite hobby is causal drinking with people he has only just met. “Why people I have only just met?” He responded when questioned on the matter. “What can I say? I like to live life on the edge.” The rumor is that this is how he first picked up the banjo. Casual drinking with some people from the hills of southern Indiana that he only just met in northern Indiana. Banjo: KrissCross’s instrument or a statement directed towards the bands penny whistler? We can only guess.
