¡CONCIERTO! is the new spanish language album from Chris Cunningham, previously of Storyhill.

Quite the departure from his previous works, ¡CONCIERTO! is a live recording of Latin American folk songs that Chris performed as part of his senior work in Hispanic studies at St. Olaf College in 1994. Chris recently rediscovered and remastered the original DAT recording of this performance and had it pressed. The CD features the guitar playing and vocal harmonies of fellow Oles Julie Crumrine and (Storyhill partner) John Hermanson. As Chris himself says, "Es musica buena!"

Chris, a native of Bozeman, Montana, started his musical career as one half of the popular folk duo Storyhill. After the duo broke-up in 1997, Chris formed Sixth Sense, a bluegrass band which put out two CDs ("Full Circle" and "The First Snow"). Chris has recently turned to solo shows and sharing tours with fellow Peppermint artist Justin Roth.

Chris and Justin released the live recording "2 Forms of ID" in 2000. It features a few songs by each of them, as well as some of the covers they performed live during their tour. At the same time, he also found time to record and release his fist entirely solo CD, "House Concert," which recreates for the listener the feeling of being in someone's living room, an unamplified intimate performance.
