An accomplished musician and songwriter, Christian played guitar in local rock bands for over 10 years before finding his true calling; the fiddle. Within months of picking up his first beat-up fiddle in a New York thrift store, he was already playing complicated Irish trad tunes. Being of Irish heritage, his love of the music grew and before long he was a Bottle Boy. He is also a gifted sound engineer and some of his production work can be heard on the band's first album.
