Chris

What do you know? For the first time in many years, I have become one fifth
in a truly remarkable team of songwriters/friends now known as Mission 66.
I guess the best way to describe my new energy is "unstoppable"! An
unstoppable freedom to write solely from what and how we feel towards each
song individually and collectively. Musically and diversely we have come
together to create a true combination of heavy damn diverse music and broad
vocal melodies. Could one ask for anything more? I think not! I appreciate
everything that has happened along the way to bring me to this point and I
will not denounce or badmouth any of my accomplishments or experiences of
my past. I am just ecstatic to be here now! My favorite things in life
besides playing live and writing music, is to spend quality time with my
family and friends who have been there for me through everything one could
imagine. For that I thank and love you all.

Chris Cannella exclusively uses Jackson guitars ( check out his personal page @ Jackson Guitar here), Mesa Boogie amps, and DR strings because my tone is
important and I wont half ass that for any second rate bullshit!
