| Chris Rosser is definitely
not your typical singer-songwriter wielding an acoustic guitar.
For his second solo recording, Rosser plays not only guitar,
but Indian dotar, Turkish saz, Wurlitzer electric piano, electric
sitar and more - combining folk, pop and world music into
a refreshingly beautiful sound that is anything but ordinary.
Self-recorded and produced in his Asheville, NC home studio,
The Holy Fool showcases Rosser's talents as a singer, multi-instrumentalist,
arranger, and foremost, as a songwriter. With songs of homecoming
queens, ashrams, relationships, spirituality, Federico Fellini
and small town churches, Rosser displays his unique lyrical
voice in "lovely homages to the experience of being alive
and human."(Dirty Linen)
Since the release of his highly successful
debut album, Archaeology (ISG Records), Chris Rosser has toured
the country by airplane and Honda Civic, won first place in
the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest 2000 Troubadour contest, showcased
at the Falcon Ridge and Kerrville Folk Festivals, and received
a grant to study Hindustani classical music with world famous
Indian musician, Ali Akbar Khan. In 1997, Archaeology won
the favor of fans, critics and radio stations alike, landing
in the Top 30 of The Gavin Report and Crossroads charts. It
was also selected as one of the top independent albums of
the year by Christine Lavin, the Internet FolkVote '97, The
Performing Songwriter and more. He has also had his songs
recorded by Tom Prasada-Rao (Christmas in the Ashram) and
Blueground Undergrass (Archaeology).
