Biography:
Clawhammer banjo and guitarist from Toronto. Member of The Foggy Hogtown Boys.
Chris Coole was first attracted to the sounds of old-time and bluegrass music as a teenager growing up in Toronto, Ontario. At seventeen years old, he got his first banjo, and soon discovered the clawhammer style. Before long his love of playing traditional country music left little time for anything else and as a result led him to pursue a career as a full time musician, a road that he has happily travelled ever since.

G C
This old hundred dollars it won't go far

[Verse 2]
G D G
There's some boys playing over at the Troubadour
