Calgary-born songwriter, Kris Demeanor, delights audiences by exposing the underbelly of western Canadian culture - gambling, drug use, sexuality, murder, religion, and the suburbs. His latest CDs, The Guilt and the Shame - tales of the Canadian West, and Go Away (with me) examine the darker, stranger corners of his home province. Kris has two Bravo!FACT videos under his belt, Extreme to Me, and I Have Seen the Future, which screened in 2008 at the Sundance Film Festival, and toured numerous times in Australia and Europe. He and his Crack Band have shared bills with such artists as David Byrne, Cake and Elvis Costello.
