Christopher Bell is not one to sit idle. In January he releases his fourth full-length album in 15 months. From Here to There marks the final installment in an experiment to write and release four albums in a little over a year. Bell got the idea from looking at the early Beatles discography. “They put out three to four albums a year for five years in a row, and I wondered how hard it would be to do that for a year.” A typical album process involved writing 5 songs a week for 8 weeks, then rewriting and recording in 3 to 4 weeks. In total, he ended up with an astounding 125 new songs, 41 of which were featured on the albums.

Christopher Bell gained national acclaim for utilizing unique modes of transportation to tour, including canoeing the Erie Canal, biking from upstate New York to Chicago, and walking across Massachusetts. The prolific young artist currently resides in Jamestown, New York, where he runs Silent Home Records, a recording studio and record label.
