ABOUT CHRIS ANDERSON

E. Christine Anderson (Chris) is a songwriter from the Washington, D.C. metro area. She started writing "WAIT - it's a musical!" while a seminary student. A member of The Recording Academy and the Dramatists Guild of America, Inc., she's played electric guitar and harmonica in a church band for the last five years. A former worship leader, she's also been a player/singer in secular bands, including Metro West, Newtown Hope and Fable Fountain. In addition to songwriting and sitting in with bands, she is having tons of fun with her brand new record label, A.M.TuneShop.

WHAT CHRIS HAS TO SAY

"WAIT was one of those projects that I just had to write. There's a goldmine of dramatic material in the Bible, and a writer's job is to make those people come alive. Once I decided to let the characters reveal themselves through music, everything fell into place."
