New Krush Lounge with Chris Lambert!

Hi! Suz here! Join me for an all new Krush Lounge with Chris Beland! I’ve been following Chris’s life and musical journey for over a decade now and he never ceases to amaze me. Always a steady force in our local music scene, Mr. Beland now has some help getting his soul’s story out to more people in the world. He’s been signed to Santa Barbara Records and has a beautiful new set of tunes out in an EP called The Waiting. In this sesh, we catch up on this latest chapter and enjoy sharing these new tunes. I think you’ll enjoy it too. And, if you’re like me, you might just well up and cry it out a little listening to him bare that soul’s story that I mentioned. It’s honest and infinite and we’re lucky to have him here with us on the Central Coast. Connect with Chris Beland at chrisbelandmusic.com. The Krush Loumge is presented by 805 Beer.
