Doug and Christine Cochran.
Where are you from?
Kansas City, Missouri, US.
Name of band:
We
have a couple of projects. Doug
and Christine is our acoustic arrangement. Furtherest is our most recent
full band project.
Who else is in your band?
In
the acoustic arrangement, it is just us. Furtherest includes Doug on guitar and
keyboard, Christine on vocals and keyboard, Drew Burasco on drums, Tammy
Gifford on keyboard, guitar, and vocals, and Melissa Hile on bass and cello.
How would you describe
yourselves and your music?
We
would like to think that our music captures a variety of styles. We try to take the approach that every song
is unique and different.
As to describing ourselves, we
have both loved music all our lives and enjoy sharing that with people.
Who are your main
influences musically?
Doug: John, Jimi, Jimmy, and Mozart.
Christine: Karen Carpenter, Stevie Nicks, Pavarotti,
John Lennon, and Janis Joplin.
What do you hope to achieve
in music?
To
paint a picture and bring emotion. Isn’t
that what art is?
What has been the highlight
of your career so far, and why?
Doug: Working with Christine.
Christine: Listening to our first completed song. It’s like having a child. When it’s finished and you see it for the
first time, nothing compares.
And what’s the moment you
want to forget?
Doug: I don’t want to forget any of the musical
moments. Even the
brain farts up on stage.
Christine: The only incident I would really like to put
behind me was my first diva temper tantrum on stage.
If you had to pick just one
of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
See The Sound – Music is an art, like
painting or any other art form. It
was a turning point because we laid the base recordings in our home
studio. With the
digital age, you are able to actually “see the sound". We started out in the age of cassette tapes.
Where can we listen to
it?
Where can we find out
more about your music?
Anything else you’d
like to say about your music that I forgot to ask?
Thank you for giving us
the opportunity to reach out across the pond. Safe travels.
