Revive the Redheads working with Cris Derksen!

Revive the Redheads are thrilled to say that we're going to be working with experimental Vancouver cellist Cris Derksen. She's played with some of the best new artists including Kanye West and popular throat-singer Tanya Tagaq who recorded with Bjork on her Vespertine album.
Though she's classically trained, Cris Derksen is anything but the classical prototype. She creates mesmerizing atmospheric melodies and unconventional beats using foot pedals and a drum machine to layer her cello compositions. We had the pleasure of seeing her perform live at Cafe Montemarte last week to a packed house! We recommend you see Cris live- it's an experience unto itself!
