Fences Biography
Fences is a four-piece indie rock band from Seattle, Washington.
Fences is the creation of singer/songwriter Christopher Mansfield, Seattle native and graduate of Berklee College of Music. In 2009, his EP was discovered via MySpace by Sara Quin of the popular Canadian indie band Tegan & Sara, who ended up producing, recording and adding vocals to his debut album. The debut album made the SPIN Magazine year-end list of "Albums You May Have Missed" in 2010.
In late 2010/early 2011, Fences toured supporting Against Me!. Their next tour will begin in July 2011 with Hellogoodbye. The band has collaborated with other Seattle-based musicians, such as Macklemore, Mansions and Sabzi.
Christopher Mansfield has openly mentioned his sobriety on his blog and Twitter account. In an interview with a Seattle publication, he discusses the time he spent in rehab, saying "I also came to terms with the fact I cannot drink like other people. I know I put a lot about it in the music of Fences and have an image of being that kind of person. The "drunk tortured artist." It is total bullshit! In reality, I was blowing any chances I may have of ever touring or recording a real record or meeting any goals short or long."
Christopher is supportive of the LGBT community and is friends with several out musicians.
