Chris Colepaugh is a music virtuoso. Not only does he play guitar, but also sessions quite frequently as a drummer, bass/guitar/mandolin/banjo player, piano player and pedal steel guitar player ( when he is not on the road) and is an accomplished producer with his own recording studio. Born into a music family, he grew up with four part harmony and piano being played all around. However, no matter how much music had consumed him, he decided to get his degree in electronics engineering instead. When he graduated, the call of a musicians life was too great and he put together a team aptly named the Cosmic Crew to create an old school/new school sound based in the classic rock vibe of the Allman Brothers, Government Mule and the southern rock sound that he identified with as a guitar player mixed with his other influences of Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Kiss, the Beatles, Paul Simon, Goosecreek Symphony, Wilco and Cake. Chris is sponsored by Gibson Guitars, Sennheiser and Traynor Amplifiers.
