Those Guys joined with drummer, Chris Cummings and broke the attendance record at The Side Door at BGSU and went on to enjoy great popularity from 1985 until they broke up in 1992. Highlights included wild nights of sing-alongs and improv at Around the Corner in Lakewood, Ohio, appearances on television and opening for 60’s folk legend, Donovan Leitch at Peabody’s Down Under. Those Guys released a cassette entitled, A Suburban Nigredo, in 1991 and were in the studio recording a second release, Ex Una Plura: Out of One Come Many, when Reynolds and Husbands parted ways.

While performing the song, Broken God, at the Festival of Archetypal Psychology for James Hillman in 1992, Reynolds experienced a shamanic opening. He had been invited by his mentor, Eugene Monick, to play music for Monick’s lecture, Phallos and the Gulf War. During the song, he experienced a vision into the violence of patriarchy.

Thus began a series of Cds: Released from the Past, in 1997. Unio Mentalis: The Mind of the Land, in 1999, Life Goes On, in 2000, Creation: The Pyramids and the Sun, in 2001, Sacred Places, Places Sacred, with award-winning Ashland poet, Jane Piirto, also in 2001, finally, the live boot-leg, Urfeo in the Urgound, in 2001.

In response to 9/11/2001, Reynolds founded Urrealism, a deepening of Surrealism. Urrealism is the waging of creativity and cooperation during a time of global destructiveness and isolation. Reynolds noted that the culture is going though a shift, much like the Copernican shift at the beginning of the Modern Era. His last 4 Cds, The New Heavens and the New Earth: The Urground Railroad, in 2002, The Age of Magnification: Lamp of the Archer, in 2004, The Urground Railroad: Recollector, in 2006, and The Highway Home in 2009, are all folk music woven with cosmology, depth psychology and spirituality.

He is currently working with longtime friend, producer and engineer, Chris Keffer, on Unio Corporalis: The Flesh Made Words. Their work includes expansion into music video production. Their first effort in 2011 was a clip for the song, Alive and Well.

In addition to his music, Reynolds lectures and puts on workshops in the United States and Canada on creativity and spirituality with the goal of creation of mutually beneficial relationships with the Earth, the ancestors and the current cosmology. He has published poems and papers in scholarly journals, most notably, A Gathering of Orphans: Struggling for Liberation and Awakening Within the Goal, in Holistic Learning and Spirituality in Education, published by SUNY, and with Jane Piirto the essays, Depth Psychology and Giftedness: Bringing Soul to the Field of Talented Education, Honoring and Suffering the Thorn: Marking, Naming and Eldering, in the Roeper Review, and Depth Psychology and Integrity in the book, Morality, Ethics and Gifted Minds.

Christopher currently resides in Strongsville, Ohio. He is department chair of world languages and teaches French at Berea High School. He teaches creativity to teachers of the talented at Ashland University. He is also a board member at Angel House where he is the ‘shaman in residence’ working on creativity and the Earth, rites of passage, global connectivity, entrepreneurship and music.
