	Musicians - Chris Pureka

Chris Pureka is an acoustic musician from Northampton, Massachusetts. She began writing songs at the age of 16 and soon became a frequent performer at local coffee houses and open mics. As a young performer, she opened shows for such artists as Erin McKeown and Pamela Means, and in June, 2001, she recorded a self-titled seven-song EP and embarked on a three-month nationwide tour with lesbian folk poet Alix Olson. The EP was later mastered and reprinted for her 2005 summer tour.

In 2004, Pureka released Driving North, her first full-length album, earning rave reviews from fans and fellow artists alike.

While Pureka remains relatively unknown even in the folk music world, she has rapidly gained popularity by performing with artists including Peter Mulvey, Jeffrey Foucault, Kris Delmhorst, Melissa Ferrick, Catie Curtis, and Girlyman.

In a Sirius Satellite Radio interview in late 2005, Pureka said that she planned to record a new album in the spring for a Fall, 2006, release.
