CHRIS COLEPAUGH AND THE COSMIC CREW are blazing a trail with their new album “In Your Backyard.” The album drips with thick electric guitars, Bonham-esque style drums, massive bass, and soulful songwriting and lyrics. From the heavy guitar-soaked-rocker-single “Caught Up To You” , to the acoustic guitar/mandolin picking of “Don’t Want You ‘Round No More”, “In Your Backyard “is a fantastic guitar-intense, southern jam rock album.

Chris recently signed an endorsement deal with Sennheiser Microphones, Traynor Amplifiers and Gibson Guitars, and signed a deal with his Management Company and Fontana North Distribution. In addition, after the album “In Your Backyard” was completed, Chris spent two weeks in Austin, Texas working under the mentorship of platinum selling artist/producer Gordie Johnson on his new Grady CD project at Willie Nelson’s Studios. “ Working with Gordie was an incredible experience. “ says Colepaugh who works in the industry as a music producer himself. “ It was inspiring to see Willie’s platinum records on the wall everyday and to think of the caliber of musicians that have recorded at Pedernales.”

CHRIS COLEPAUGH AND THE COSMIC CREW have performed at festivals in Canada and the United States including SXSW , CMW, NXNE, NEMO, Evolve and have toured extensively with over fifteen national coast-to-coast tours including tours in the United States. Part of their US itineraries have included dates with the North Mississippi Allstars, a performance at the House Of Blues in Boston, MA , several tours of New England and southern US, the U.S. West and two tours of Southern California .
