Kablooey! by Chris Burns & His Going Concerns

Montreal-based musician Chris Burns played his first gig when he was 15 years old, back in 1982. Today, aged 57, he is more active than ever. Primarily a guitarist, he is also a composer, improviser, singer and songwriter. His distinctive style can be heard in a vast and varied catalogue of records and soundtracks spanning over 40 years and some 50 releases by artists such as Terminal Sunglasses, American Devices, Nutsak, Crackpot, The Ratchet Orchestra and, most recently, Tha Retail Simps.

Chris Burns & His Going Concerns is the culmination of everything he has experienced, learned, unlearned, toiled over, honed and forgotten throughout his musical adventures. Herein: passionate, committed and energetic performances featuring strong musicianship mixed with a healthy dose of cathartic abandon.
