A little bluesy, mostly folksy with an edge, Gentle Rebels' music speaks of subjects many consider taboo--social injustice, social blindness and the aftermath of childhood abuse. Some selections show the light at the end of the tunnel.

Details:
Kriss Erickson has been a freelance writer/artist for over twenty years. Her musical inspiration stems from surviving twenty-plus years of severe emotional and physical abuse at the hands of her parents, and from escaping a fundamentalist group that used heavy doses of mind control.

She received a Master's of Art in Counseling in 2003, a useful tool for deciphering the human heart and spirit. Another valuable tool for healing and recovery was and continues to be her closeness to the earth and to nature. She enjoys making everything from soap to herbal teas from scratch and grows many fruits, vegetables and herbs on her 3/4 acre property in Western Washington.

She collaborates closely with her husband and lead guitarist, Michael, in her creative efforts.
