About the Album

"Go" is Chris Pellnat's fifth solo album. It's singer-songwriter music but incorporates unusual instrumentation including vibraphone, clarinet and dulcimer.

His music is a bit off-kilter and veers into surprising directions. His song craft rests on strong melody and lyrics that, even when dealing with serious topics, sometimes have an element of playful cleverness. Some of his songs are expansive and elating, dealing with the big questions of life, love, spirituality and fate. Others come off as light novelty songs. But whether silly or sublime, a common thread runs through all of his work - he seeks to create something honest and true in the only way an artist can: through artifice.
