About

Prior to earning her BA in English from UMass Boston, Chris Campbell began her music journalism career in 1995, when her first Phish concert review was published in print.   

In 1997, Chris was approached by Relix Magazine's managing editor, Dean Budnick, to become a regular contributor to the not-yet-launched Jambands.com, which she did, as time and inspiration allowed. Chris later expanded her writing contributions to Jambase.com and the Live Music Blog. 
 

Writing projects aside, Chris has worked in a variety of music industry roles, from radio intern, to load-in/load-out crew, to street team member, to merch booth attendant, to non-profit co-founder, to band publicist. 
 

Originally from Massachusetts, Chris rented her first apartment, and later bought her first home, in Vermont. A job offer then brought her to Washington state, where she spent fourteen years. Chris now lives in the New Hampshire Lakes Region with her husband and their three sons.

Despite her jaded 1.0 veteran status, Chris will still travel throughout New England (and sometimes, beyond) to hit a show.
