Chris Nicholas


Chris Nicholas is a singer and graduate of the University of North Texas. He moved to California recently to work with Ahmad Jamal as well as his own gigs and projects. Here are photos of his venerable (but devious) character :-)




A friend gave him this doll and he used it for a few shots at the end of our shoot.

Run away from me


*Gezellig best characterized Sarah Renfro's voice when they said it "sounds like an angel dripping with sin." From her abandoned east Texas roots all the way to her new home of Brooklyn, it's been a shift filled with honest, emotional music. Sarah, in her latest work approaches her voice and Rhodes piano from a new direction. Gone (but not forgotten) are the angry protests and in are the more subtle explorations of self-awareness, whether it be the Arvo Pärt-like vocalizations in "City in your Nightmare" or her "Little White House" in the backyard. Sarah's new music trades extra decibels for lyrics that strike harder. Much harder.

Sarah's been in on a number of collaborations with numerous accolades. Discover them through her site. For now, check out the Gutterth Compilation which features a number of Dallas/Fort Worth musicians and Sarah's track Judgement By Default.

Just a hop & a skip away from NYU, the Blue Note, and Gay Street




These last few were shot late on a memorable, muggy and deserted Brooklyn night in late July '08.
