Chris Ballew
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher Ballew (born May 28, 1965) is a member of The Presidents of the United States of America.
He formed The Presidents of the United States of America in 1993 with David Dederer, with whom he had gone to middle and high school at The Bush School in Seattle. Ballew collaborated in the early 1990s with Mark Sandman of Treat Her Right and Morphine in a duo called Supergroup, in which they developed the oddly-stringed instruments that would become a staple of both the Presidents' and Morphine's sound.
Ballew also was a member of Beck's live band for a period of time.
