Northwest rock legend Chris Newman comes roaring back onto center stage with this all-new full-length CD, after spending several years homeless on the streets of San Francisco with his wife, Valarie. Chris and his world renowned band Napalm Beach have been enthusiastically received in their 2004 shows, and this CD tells the story of his experience with homelessness and severe drug addiction, which he has thankfully put behind him now.

Tarp Town Years marks the return of a major talent after a harrowing experience, and the songs are a dramatic, rocking collection of vignettes of Chris’s life in the last five years. Personnel: Chris Newman:  vocals, bass, all guitars, keyboards Sam Henry:  drums Mary Sue Tobin:  saxophone Jan Celt:  violin Ted Heath:  harmonica
