Christian Glines
Christian first came into contact with American roots music while attending Evergreen State College in Olympia Washington. Coming off a stint of studying Jazz at Berkley College of Music, Christian found it refreshing to meet so many young talented musicians playing various styles of roots music like Gypsy Swing, Bluegrass and Old Time. Evergreen was a fertile ground for musicians; many of which have become respected players in the field and he flourished in this collective energy. This spurred him to study ethnomusicology where he traced many of these music’s back to the countries that they originated from. Christian became focused on the point in time when these music’s were brought to America and underwent a metamorphosis that resulted in what we now know to be American music. His repertoire draws from a blend of blues, swing, jug, honky tonk, bluegrass, and old time. Check out his current band Jug-Tonk Stompers.
