Full Black Out - Kris Kolp Bio

Kris Kolp grew up in Tarpon Springs, Florida. He started playing music at a young age beginning with the trombone, trumpet, and piano. Later on in high school and college, he moved on to guitar, and then harmonica. He moved to Tallahassee, FL in the early 90s to earn a Computer Science degree at Florida State University, and along the way played in two successful Tallahassee bands, "The Fatty Tea Bags", and "Jess Franklin and the Best Little Blues Band".

Upon completion of his college degree, he wanted to create a way to blend his two main talents, computers/technology and music, into one project. As a result, Log Cabin Studio was born. The studio has been continuously upgraded and improved over the last four years. It is presently build around Digidesign's ProTools, a computer-based, industry standard DAW (digital audio workstation). The studio is also equipped with high quality analog preamps, eqs, compressors, and mics. The studio is approximately 600 sq ft and is divided into 3 rooms, each treated to produce pleasing sonic qualities.

In late 2001, Kris was asked by Justin Brogdon to sit-in on a few songs on harmonica and guitar for Full Black Out. Soon thereafter, he began to contribute to a variety of Full Black Out songs, including offering the band the use of a couple of his own pieces. The band has thus dubbed him as a "permanent sit-in," and continues to offer his own arrangements and tunes to be used by the band.
