[3] After doing the circus lifestyle with the traveling restaurant and cooking for the likes of Jarvis Cocker, Bill Drummond, politicians and fine artists, the two had decided to turn back to their true love of music.

Their unique live performance, which involved playing with one condenser microphone and gathering around it like some modern day Carter Family, quickly earned Chris and Thomas a name on the L.A. club circuit.

[2] A breakthrough event for the duo occurred while returning from a weekend in Joshua Tree, where the two were greeted by multiple phone messages from excited friends who had heard their song "Take These Thoughts" on L.A.'s influential KCRW.

Harcourt programmed the disc on his show, and eventually included it on NPR's syndicated Sounds Eclectic, which introduced a national audience to Chris and Thomas.

[2] The record was first released in the UK in 2006 in conjunction with a five-week tour and has gained critical acclaim and positive reviews (4 stars) and runner-up to album of the month in the music magazine MOJO.

Chris and Thomas and Oscar-nominated composer John Debney wrote the title song for Garry Marshall's 2007 film Georgia Rule starring Lindsay Lohan and Jane Fonda.

He has a home in Los Angeles and is working on a book of visual poem stories for various mediums centered around the sun, nourishing food, vital music, and kind people and the evolution of all things that come and go.
