Summer Nights Music July 6, 2006

Albert & Gage. Thursday, July 6

Christine Albert and Chris Gage have a nine year track record of making beautiful music together. Over the course of five duet albums, the duo has demonstrated that disparate backgrounds do not preclude musical soulmates from finding one another. Christine cut her teeth in northern New Mexico, and now lives in Austin where she has garnered many awards as a singer/songwriter. Chris has been a journeyman musician since age 15, playing with such greats as Roy Clark and Jimmie Gilmore. Their website, www.albertandgage.com.
