Chris Braeuel - Bio

Chris began his musical debut in the early 1980s as a drummer in several local Rock&Roll bands over the decade. In the early 1990s he joined the pop cover band Mourning Glory for three seasons. After several years away from the band scene, Chris made the transition from drumming to percussion. With his love for various Latin and jazz fusion rhythms, he joined the Latin ensemble, Rumbamania Compania, as a conga and bongo player. It was through this experience that Chris met Paul and eventually decided to form the Paul Sheehy Trio with Sheldon Walklin. Chris' main percussion influences include Latin virtuosos Giovanni Hidalgo and Tito Puente.
