Dashboard Confessional Bio
When Chris Carraba was 15 years
old, his Uncle Angelo bought him a guitar. Chris began teaching himself
how to play, but he didn't become serious about music until the very end
of high school.
Right after high school, Chris started playing with the Vacant Andys,
his first serious band. After several years with the Vacant Andys and a
one-album stint with The Agency, Chris went on to play with Further
Seems Forever. While he was with FSF, he started a solo side-gig and
took a chance with an acoustic sound. Dashboard Confessional began when
he recorded the Drowning EP under the Fiddler Records label.
Dashboard fans have spread from Florida across the country and are
growing every day. But Chris still appreciates the loyalty of his
Florida fanbase who have been there for him since the Vacant Andys.
Chris says "I think the kids in Florida are just different kinds of
fans. They really support their bands. I'm one of those kids, so it's
nice to see." But Chris also notes that in his recent tour, everywhere
he went his audiences reminded him of home. " It seems that the rest of
the country is taking a nod from the kids down here. On my last tour,
kids treated me as if, literally, they're my buddies and they're rooting
for me. And they really connected."
While the studio recordings of Dashboard Confessional have connected
with fans across the country, the real Dashboard experience happens on
the road. As Chris put it, "If you come to one of my shows, you're kind
of expected to sing along as loud as I do, and it's just really like a
team effort. It's almost organic how much the kids are involved. They
are part of the band."
On, 'The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most', Chris got some musical
help from his friends. The beautiful female voice heard on several
tracks is that of Jolie Lindholm, lead singer of The Rocking Horse
Winner. Dan Bonebrake who was in the Vacant Andys with Chris plays bass,
and Mike Marsh from The Agency plays drums. Chris really appreciates
that Dan and Mike are taking off their time from their band, Seville, to
help him with his project, including joining him on tour.
Right now Chris is enjoying writing songs and touring, which is the best
way he knows to thank his great fans.
