Carolina and also performed in a video that was taped after the Dove awards called The CAUSE video. She enjoyed her life & times with Dr. Jones & New Life. He taught her that when he points at you, you "SANG GIRL"! She did just that.

Chrissie also worked for 18 weeks during the time of the Columbine high school tragedy, as Min. of Music for Trinity Christian Center, also in Littleton.

Miss Chrissie can come from many ends on playing styles but she prefers her own “Bump”. Her Bump is a saloon/gospel style she picked up learning under the “Ambassador” of the Tina Turner band, the late “Kenny Moore”. Chris learned from Kenny how to be out front in the spotlight, as well as in the back with the band.
