News March- 28 2016 After several years in a row of recording CDs, composing
films scores with Brad Hord and starting and managing an art and craft Co-op called Red Hands Co-op. I took
time during most of 2015 after the release of "The Invisible World" project searching for and collaborating
with local musicians and started playing gigs again. We are writing new songs and plan to start recording
sometime in 2017. ______________________________________________________________ Dec-
28 2014 Today Brad Hord and I would like to announce the release of our new concept CD titled "The
Invisible World"... The story of a young native man who has a near death experience and through song and native
flute instrumentals shares his journey beyond the veil with you. You can purchase hard copies of this CD by clicking
the kunaki link below. You can also go to chrisferree.com to hear song samples and there are several different ways purchase
hard copies or MP3s. _____________________________________________________________ Feb-
15 2014 Hello All,
It's been a while since I updated my news section... so... here we go.
First, but definitely not least, my two youngest children (a girl and a boy) have suddenly become teenagers! And with this, all the blessings and challenges and helping them through this metamorphosis. Needless to say, my wife and I have had our hands full. .. As many of you have already experienced. Second, Brad and I continue to score independent films under the name, CutshawKane. Over the past couple years, this has grown steadily and we have had the privilege to work with some talented filmmakers on some interesting projects, both regionally and nationally. We also wrote, produced, and scored our own short film, a syfy thriller, Mosaic 33, which is currently making the film fest circuit and is doing well. Brad has caught the film making “bug” and is already working on his 2nd short film titled Worldly Possessions. As some of you may already know, my son, nephew and I started Red Hands Co-op, an online artist co-op website nearly two years ago. Since then we have grown to 11 artists. I have been busy promoting the site and our artists through arts and crafts festivals and shopping to galleries and gift shops from Charlotte to Asheville. On the music front, last year tried to put together a five piece band to do some regional shows, but that just hasn't quite worked out yet with time constraints and finding just the right musicians for this genre. I have since decided to expand my search outside of my local area and try to put together a three piece band by this summer. My next CD, which Brad and I are working on right now, is a little over half way finished. It is a concept CD titled The Invisible World, a group of songs and instrumentals about a journey into the afterlife. Right now CD release date sometime winter 2014. To find out more about our other projects and ventures… Just click the links below Thank you all for your support Chris

Ferree is a Cherokee multi-instrumentalist,songwriter
and singer with a strong Christian faith that shines out of every track. Ferree's soulful vocals take center stage,
infusing these bluesy rock tunes with a consecrated fire. "I'll Show You Love" offers a friend the promise of
eternal comfort and salvation. "We Are One" is a soaring song of praise, while " Messenger" is a catchy
rock tune full of jangling guitars that sounds like a radio hit. The album's low-key production sets off and complements
Ferree's uplifting tenor, a voice full of warmth and comfort. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Sept - 5 -2011 Native American Music Awards I am a finalist at the 2011 NAMAs and in the running for a nomination in several catagories for my CD "The Wind and The Fire".

It incorporates everything from a little bit of Rock, to country, to soothing sounds of pop or lullabies. This artist takes you on a spiritual journey within the music and it leads you to one of Hope, Love, Faith and Strength. The songs reflect on so many topics including religion/faith, abuse, Being lost/abandoned to being found and loved, to knowing you're always needed and wanted no matter where your life turns.

March Radio Galactica “Artist of the Month” My choice is one of the radio’s many talented Native American
artist. ________________________________________________________________________ Feb - 25 2011 Review of "The Wind and The Fire" CD by Shashona McCall of Indie Showcase Who says spiritual songs have to be hymns? Chris Ferree has done a stunning job on his latest Album
called The Wind And The Fire. He has moved in a different direction with The Wind and The Fire, looking
inside instead of outside. The entire album speaks about the journey of life, spirit and God. This album was several years
in the making and trust me, it was worth it.
And that's just how I see it December - 7 2009 New CD released My new CD "Unbound" will be available at CDbaby by Dec. 20th and can be digital downloaded at most sites shortly after. If you would like a copy before Dec. 20th, you can contact me through this site or by email. ________________________________________________________________________ November - 23 2009 I will be speaking at Marion School here in Shelby N.C. We will be talking about Native American culture and Cherokee history. I will be exhibiting and demonstration traditional Native American musical instruments. It should be a good time for the kids and I am sure I will learn a thing or two myself. ________________________________________________________________________ August - 24 2009 From Spirit Wind Records Native Music Artists come together for homeless benefit CD Native music recording artists join together for a new compilation CD that will help the homeless crises in America. The new CD, entitled, "Rise-up: Songs from Native America" includes 20 well known award winning artists that span across styles within the Native American Music genre from traditional drum, flute, rock, hip-hop, folk, new age, blues, story telling, and instrumental. Weaved together, the songs share a story of hope, healing, and inspiration. "This project is amazing. To include such a wide range of music in a way where each track compliments the other is masterful." (Ken Tripe, 'National Music Today'). This effort through Spirit Winds Records, co-produced by Donald Blackfox, Jan Michael Looking Wolf, and Kathy Sohler, is intended to promote national awareness of the homeless crisis and raise some funds to help shelters around the country with a portion of the proceeds. Each quarter, an artist on the recording will be able to choose an organization to help. "This is the way it should be," says Donald Blackfox, CEO Spirit Wind Records, "Every artist will have an opportunity to help their favorite non-profit group for the homeless. Our culture is based on equity, on a circle; all the musicians on this recording have an equal place." "Rise Up: Songs from Native America" will be available September 2010. http://www.spiritwindrecords.us/ - link to purchase CDs ________________________________________________________________ August - 22 2009 From Donald Blackfox CEO Spirit Wind Records Spirit Wind Records announces the signing of Chris Ferree to our label and our family.
