The Combo is made from Victoria's most talented jazz/rocksteady/ska/reggae/dub musicians.

Jules Charles - drums
Daniel Tate - Keyboard
Christian - bass

Combine these three musicians with Chris Murray's solid vocals and you get a band that will be the talk of many cities and towns across Canada as they get ready to embark on their national tour at the end of September 2002.

This Victoria show will mark the grand finale of their national tour! Jules, Dan and Christian are excited about this tour as well as other ska/rocksteady/reggae/dub fans in Victoria. This is not to be missed. For more information visit Chris Murray's web-site. http://www.chrismurray.net

Also check out http://www.justconcerts.com to see the stuff Chris did with Jules, Andrew Welby and Jamie Cummins at CBC Radio Sonic.

Remember, Chris Murray has a brand new CD coming out called "RAW" which features guest appearances by Alex Desert & Deston Berry (Hepcat), Neville Staples (The Specials) and Go Jimmy Go. In Canada, "RAW" will be released by Stomp Records. Asian Man Records will release the album in the US. And Moon Ska Europe will take part in the festivities there.

Chris really likes playing as much has he can which is why he requested the show. Although he comes through frequently he always has fresh material and he can take a variety of requests.

But what I'm really excited about is the fact that he will be backed up by a band with bass, keyboard, and drums - (maybe another surprise musician too). That will give the songs he has sang solo in the past a more full sound (although I still like his solo program).

And I also agree that with Kia and One Drop opening, adds a fresh dimension to the show too. It's cool to see Kia in different musical contexts. It just shows how many different styles of music she can blend with and still sound awesome. - Sat, 28 Sep 2002 2:54pm

I just caught this show the other day here in Calgary (first show of the tour I believe). It was just the Chris Murray Combo. I've seen Chris play several times and this is without a doubt the best he has ever sounded. They played a couple sets including all the old favorites plus a whole bunch of new ones he has been writing. The back up band sounded incredable (with ex bombasts how can ya go wrong). Anyways the show was better the slackers show last week (yes I know thats hard to believe). Yes definitally check this show out when they come to Vic - Sat, 5 Oct 2002 2:22pm
