About the Artist
Chris Lonsberry is a self taught guitarist; his ease and clarity of playing has been described as ethereal and powerful. He has been playing guitar for around 20 years, his musical and

"I remember being about five years old and running around the house playing a tennis racket with the Beatles. Not knowing any better, I held it upside-down. I don't know if I was copying Paul or mirroring John but I do know that it became very natural to use my hands that way. When I finally went for lessons, years later, they told me I'd have to switch the guitar around which, to me, felt very cumbersome and completely awkward. I never did take lessons."

Mr. Lonsberry has been performing at Trinity Full Gospel Church for eight years; it was here he met Patrick Lee Hebert and they joined their skills to create Reverie.

Product Description
Composer/guitarist Chris Lonsberry, who has been writing and performing as part of Reverie since 1997, has released Forever Roads, his first solo project. As a musician, this CD emphasizes Chris' range as he dives in as both guitarist and keyboard player. As a composer, Chris once again concentrates strongly on melody but stretches out from single guitar melody, as in the title track Forever Roads, to multi-instrument arrangements like Tribute.

"I really enjoyed doing this.... starting with a clean slate and going at it without setting self-limitations... it felt very much like a painter looking at a blank canvas. It was great to have so many possibilities." - Chris Lonsberry

    5 out of 5 stars A great solo debut!.......2000-07-10

    "Forever Roads", Chris Lonsberry's first solo album, is a delightful mix of playing and composing styles. The majority of pieces are solo guitar, but others are accompanied by drums and other synthesized instruments (also performed by Lonsberry). Nominated for Instrumental Album of the Year by Jam Music Magazine, the styles range from the gentle sadness of "Nothing More to Say" to the rousing "Molly's Return". Half of the guitar/piano duo, Reverie, Chris also released a synth album called "Diode Melody" in 1999.

    "Molly's Return" is my favorite track. It is a lively Celtic dance that is positively infectious. Synth flutes swirl around the strumming guitar, and anyone who can sit still must be dead or close to it! "Tribute" is a haunting piece for flute, guitar, and percussion. "A Little Boy's World" is a lighthearted acoustic guitar solo that evokes images of a carefree child running through the tall grass or riding a bicycle at full speed off to a new adventure. "Nothing More to Say" brims over with sweet melancholy - my favorite of the guitar solos. I also really like "Minstral" with its wistful, longing feeling; "Midnight Dream" also has this lovely quality. "She Smiles In the Morning" is a very sweet and tender love song. "Tribute" would be a wonderful slow dance with its pulsing rhythm and gentle flute. The title track is an introspective solo piece, reflecting on the many different choices (roads) in life - those traveled and those not taken. "When the Jester Leaves Town" and "In the Palaces" have powerful rhythm tracks, so you won't be able to fall asleep with this album! Personally, I love the variety of styles showcased on "Forever Roads", as it clearly indicates how versatile this very talented artist is. Both thumbs up for "Forever Roads"!
