This Sunday evening, Chris Mansfield, aka the 27 year old singer/songwriter known as Fences, will be bringing his brand of indie melancholy to The Golden West Cafe.

I interviewed Chris for BestNewBands.com last year (see the full interview here), and he had this to say about creating songs that have endings, “When I'm writing, I guess I intentionally do stuff like that. It's a privilege to think that maybe I'll say this and it'll resonate. That's definitely a new experience and it changes things. I like the song to be metaphorically 'wrapped up' and for there to be a statement, whether it's a good one or a bad one. It's really nice to create something simple that people get.”
