Chris Couch (of World's Finest)

Chris Couch (of World's Finest)

Chris Couch has been a carving out his place in the Portland music scene for almost a decade. From his beginnings in the reggae/rock outfit, Outpost, to his place as frontman and chief songwriter of World's Finest, Chris has been steadily refining his unique style of playing.

With an extensive repertoire of original music and an ear for catchy melodies, Chris's songs run the gamut of emotions, while always keeping an eye open for the positive. His thoughtful lyrics read like a journal of his many years of reconciling everyday life with the hectic demands of the music business.

Chris's years of touring and creating community in Portland have given him a vast rolodex of talented musical friends and he is eager to share a portion of them during his week at Al's Den.

 

Kat Fountain

Kat Fountain

The very first harmonica that Kat Fountain ever purchased was in Connecticut toy store in the mid 1990's. What initially was an impulse buy on an overcast day, turned out to be the corner-stone in her musical career. Over the last ten years, Kat has traveled and toured across the United States as a harmonica soloist and songwriter in several different projects. Her rare ability to absolutely tear apart the harmonica, play multiple instruments and write meaningful lyrics to classic blues and country inspired melodies has never ceased to inspire those who listen to her music.


In Kat's debut album, "Care Less, Do More", her songwriting provides a haunting and provoking reminder that roots acoustic music is anything from dead. She lays down original tunes that come from the true stories in a way that's genuine. Recorded in her living room genuine. Fountain's bluegrass-inspired rhythm guitar picking and folky songwriting resonates with people who are looking for something real, and with something with grit. Here in Portland Oregon, Kat dedicates her time to continuously shaping her multi-instrumental base, and catching salmon in the Pacific Northwest.
