Biography

The Christopoulos Brothers, Joe and George, first performed together as a duo nearly five decades ago, and along with their Producer Ford Colley, performed together on stage more than 40 years ago. George and Ford were later part of the Chicago based Folk-Rock group Pieces of Eight who recorded the first Christopoulos Brothers original "Run & Hide" shortly before that group broke up in 1970.

The Christopoulos Brothers continued their musical careers together composing more than 100 songs over the course of the next 40 years, appearing on the Rock and College touring circuit as well as in clubs and events throughout the country. During this same time, Ford Colley pursued a successful career in broadcasting as a radio personality for ABC, CBS, Westinghouse and Bonneville.

Although they were aware of each others careers during this time, there was not much interaction between Ford and the brothers until a mutual friend brought them together in late 2007. It was then that they re-banded and collaborated on their first CD together, "jofo'geo" which was released in June of this year.

As a team, they were able to expand their musical horizons, with each taking a different role in this project that brought a significant change to the brother's usual dual guitar performances of their original material. Although the songs on this CD are credited as co-written by all three, Joe is the song writer of the group, as George assumes the role of arranger and primary vocalist, while Ford produces the recording sessions and mixes the audio for the CD. Collaborating together, all three performed all of the musical material along with some guest artists.
