Hi Everyone, I have been having a great summer with the family here on the McKenzie. We are slowly getting settled, but enjoying all the support from the wonderful, helpful, loving, and caring people in the Springfield-Eugene area. Special  thanks to Carla, Jason, Josh, and McKenzie Goss, Pat, Sherie, and Kayla Greenwell, Mike and Andrea Gramzow, Oriana and Mark Hurwit, and Karen and Kelly Willis. I will try to post more material on the site, but as we are space-challenged here until we do our remodel, it will take awhile before I can set up my equipment. I thank you all for your comments and...

Oregon is beautiful right now, the sun is shining, the river finds the ocean, the weeds are growing like crazy, and I’m down to my last 15 or so boxes! When I come up for air, I will try to post more music. I am sorry to say that I will not be playing any shows for awhile until things get settled, so I had to cancel the  gigs I had planned in July. Thank you all so much for your support and enthusiasm! Blessings, Chris

Hi Everyone, The 4H Club (minus 1) will be appearing at the Upper 4th in Santa Rosa June 5th from 5:00 to 8:00. This is our last appearance  before my big move to Springfield so come on down!  Thanks, CJ

The 4H Club has no more appearances planned for May. Our next show will be on the 5th of June at Upper 4th from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. We are pretty busy packing over here at our house, but I will try to post more live recordings and maybe another vocal track if I can find the time. I have been told that I should work on singing more, so I’ll try to get to it! Thank you all so much for your support and comments. Blessings, CJH

I’ve added a new page called “Live Recordings” to share some of the “gig” energy with everyone. (Please excuse audio quality, It’s a hand-held!) This song is “Blues on the Corner” written by McCoy Tyner. More coming… Thanks, CJH

 Hi Everyone, Big news here at the Hayes House is that we are moving in June, which is why I have been so quiet as of late. We are going to the Eugene- Springfield are of Oregon.  The gig at Upper 4th went great,and I will be posting a song or 2 from that performance. I have to apologize to Marisa for not taking any Video, but I couldn’t find anyone to shoot it, as I was quite busy. Tonight we are playing at The Russian River Brewery and I will let you know how we like it. Thanks to everyone,                                     Chris
