Blackberry Wood is a wonderful, secret and magic combination of original old style country/ragtime/circus/gypsy music, up to date party grooves such as exotic worldbeats/hipnotic hiphop and other irresistible body shakin’/foot shuffling tunes.
It all started when a friend asked Kris and Corinne if they would play a new years gig, four days before new year's eve. In a frenzy– Kris and Corinne whipped together their strangest mix of original material—and it was a hit.
Needless to say they were invited back for the next new years party. After a few more gigs, and Kris churning out a huge batch of sweet songs, they decided to invite more musicians into the swamp stompin’ Blackberry Woods.
