Distinct. Blue. Custom made. Chris Shaw throws on his signature sport jacket and becomes the pseudonymous Topher James - the frontman for Biscuit Brigade.

Coinciding with the release of their record "8-Bit Soul," Shaw has released a video game with that same title. The goal is to take the digital version of Topher James and get him through the city to his gig.

But, there's definitely more than a blue jacket, a new album, and a video game to go along with it. There's also a deep love of music rooted in Chris. We explore why he continues to pursue this passion.

Three tracks are performed exclusively with us: "Be The Proof," "Hard Love" and a spontaneous cover of "Sir Duke."
