ARTIST BIO

Born and raised in Norway, but has lived and traveled the world most of her adult life. This, along with her educational background as a psychologist, her various hobbies like martial arts (2nd Dan, Taekwondo), horses, clothes design, arts & crafts, and passion for most hedonistic pleasures like food, music & arts, are all contributing factors tinting her musical compositions. Her music is ethereal and eclectic and her voice is mostly described as haunting. Bassist/Keyboardist/Vocalist Lou Paglione brings his musical expertise and experience in former bands where he opened up for such acts as The Hooters and Cinderella. A veritable musical talent, Lou's first gig was as a 6 year old playing the accordion on the Al Alberts Showcase television program. His musical passions and expertise adds tremendously valuable layers to Cris' music. 
Guitarist Mark Harris is a sought after session player and working musician around the Tri-State area. A multi-instrumentalist who plays guitar, bass and keyboards, Mark has studied music most of his life, including formal training while attending college. In addition to being a guitar prodigy and solid musician, Mark also is co-owner of a local Delaware professional sound 
reinforcement company.

Dave's style is groove oriented, rock steady and audience pleasing, giving his all to every performance, which makes Dave a highly valuable asset and driving force to the band.
