Stone Soup Coffeehouse Presents Chris O’Brien/We’re About 9 (Double Bill) January 10, 2009

Boston based singer/songwriter Chris O'Brien is an artist on the rise. Since the release of his CD "Lighthouse," Chris has caught the attention of many. He was chosen from a pool of nearly 1,000 contestants to appear on Garrison Keillor's "Prairie Home Companion" in the "People in Their Twenties" talent contest, he was one of Falcon Ridge Folk Festival's Emerging Artists, and also was also a finalist in the Mountain Stage New Song competition.
Find yourself bursting aloud with laughter, dazzled with thought-provoking metaphors, lifted to the heavens with soaring harmonies, and moments later with tears in your eyes, and you are likely enjoying the witty musicianship that is We’re About 9. The We're About 9 duo of Katie Graybeal and Brian Gundersdorf is focused on complex songwriting and big wall-of-sound harmonies. They take turns on lead vocal, sing on every song, and accompany their voices with thoughtfully conceived acoustic guitar and electric bass. Simultaneously playing and writing for a diverse, intelligent audience is what has given this trio a distinctive, edgy, fun, articulate, professional style.
It’s our good fortune to have Chris O’Brien and We’re About 9 performing on the same evening.
