Puzzletruck writes songs with a unique set of “House Rules:”

#1 They tell stories - they come first - many of the stories are about growing up in small-town, rural Georgia. #2 No music could be created/written until the story/words were finished. #3 Stephen could not write any music for the stories on an electric guitar - had to be acoustic guitar or piano.

These house rules were to help them completely re-think how they would write songs. Stephen Blackburn & Rick Reese

Christopher Crompton is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, writer and poet from the West Midlands.

His work is created from a diverse palette of influences that cross genres and cultures. His distinctive voice and guitar playing draw these threads together into a unique sound and presentation. The subjects he addresses are equally heterogeneous, from the personal to the political, from the Stoic to the spiritual, from the everyday to the extraordinary. In every corner of experience, Christopher seeks the sensibilities that render the individual universal.

His words and music set out to make you feel something. They challenge but carry compassion. They empathise, lament, celebrate and encourage.
