Chris Pureka follows in the noble tradition of American singer-songwriters exploring human emotion, frailty, happiness. Well-educated (she left her studies in microbiology at Smith College to pursue music), Pureka has a knack for crafting accessible, enjoyable songs that have the feel of a comfortably-worn old sweater; her voice is a deep, musty timbre (yes, musty – think depth, shadows, and a degree of disrepair) that echoes the memory of times past, both good and bad.
