"Ever since I first saw The Beatles play live I knew that
music was going to be my life. There's nothing that comes close to playing live or putting
out a good record - it really is that simple."

Chris
Guitarist and multi instrumentalist Chris Wilson is the ex-singer of the
best-remembered line-up San Francisco's cult classic band The Flamin' Groovies and a
long-term member of The Barracudas, another band with a dedicated and loyal fan base that
stretches right around the world.
His career
highlights include the classic Flamin' Groovies album Shake Some Action [1976] - one of
the finest albums of all time. His songs and music have appeared in Hollywood movies,
including Clueless [1995], and are repeatedly covered by other bands. The Groovies
version of Shake Some Action also appeared in a 1996 episode of the Nash Bridges TV show,
Key Witness.
Now
resident in North London, the US-born musician continues to record and play, most recently
with his five-piece band the Groovin' Flames, which toured across Europe in 2006 to
ecstatic audiences.
