Namesakes Part 1
I have decided to do a namesakes series, focusing on one Chris Wilson around the world each time and seeing what they do, since "googling" yourself online is so interesting. First up is the first result of my Google search, a singer-songwriter based in the land where England's cricket team are currently starting their Ashes-retaining tour, Australia:
Found at www.chriswilson.com.au, Chris has been around a bit, playing in no fewer than 12 bands since 1984 - coincidentally the year of my birth, as well as releasing a number of solo albums (such as "The Long Weekend", pictured below). He has also contributed to a few other projects and produced two albums. He is described as having been "...an essential part of blues and rock music in Australia since taking the stage with the Sole Twisters twenty years ago", from his profile here:

Sadly there are no music samples on his site so I was unable to try his 'sound'. However, Chris is touring the state of Victoria in Australia and has played in the USA, keep your eyes peeled...
I'm moving to Chester tomorrow and might not be online as much, but the journal will keep going and at least one entry will be made per week.
Take care guys,
Chris
