Knox Chandler (The Psychedelic Furs, Cyndi Lauper)
This week’s guest makes me just want to have fun. No, it’s not Cyndi Lauper. But he did play with her for years. Welcome multi-instrumentalist Knox Chandler to the show. He moved around a lot as a kid, so music really meant a lot to him. His parents told him that he used to hug the stereo speakers when he was a toddler. He studied guitar and upright bass in college. But his cello playing got him just as much work as anything else. The funny part about that is he never technically learned how to formally play the cello. It began on a whim from Richard Butler of The Psychedelic Furs. From that, we’ll call it a suggestion, Knox learned how to play the cello night after night, live in front of thousands of Psychedelic Furs fans.
That turned into playing cello for R.E.M. on Automatic For The People, among other amazing credits. Knox also tells a hilarious story about how he met Cyndi Lauper in the studio and then got heckled by her at a live show that night.
He’s got a bunch of projects in the works and one that he just completed. It’s his multi-media release called The Sound. It’s a beautiful, instrumental album that was inspired by friends, tech, and fly-fishing. Check it out on all the streaming platforms or buy the multi-media version from knoxchandlermusic.com or Bandcamp. His website also has links to his socials. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on socials.
