Chris Telles

After decades of collecting as well as writing and performing in bands, with an undergraduate degree in Broadcast Journalism from Texas State University (1997), a semi-greyed history of network television and studio system to independent movies on his resume, Telles also brings a music “geek” knowledge of pop, alternative, and various forms of rock (“Both kinds…rock AND roll”) and an untold amount ticket stubs collected.
The show Song Mine is a culmination of all this rolled into one blissful hour of radio (“Side A”) AND “Side B” as a streaming web exclusive found on ktep.org
