Zimmerman-Crecelius Duo

The Zimmerman-Crecelius Duo first came into existence through a series of collaborations in Polebridge during the summer of 2021 and are now based out of Whitefish. Inspired by the unique artistic energy found along the Northfork of the Flathead river, from the border to the valley, they blend a shared admiration of Bach, Brazilian song, and improvisation to create eclectic programs for the listener.

Lee Zimmerman

Lee Zimmerman is a Cellist and Vocalist- one of the new cello innovators- weaving cello and voice in a broad musical fabric embracing music from the Middle Ages to seventeenth century courtly dance to the pulse of modern urban cityscapes. Influenced by American pop music, swing, jazz, classical, and world music, he brings a singular approach to cello and song to the streets, taverns, living rooms, ceremonial and concert spaces around the world. He is a songwriter and has created music for movement, theater, performance art, dance, yoga, and poetry. His music is both lyrical, percussive, and haunting.

Chris Crecelius

Chris Crecelius was born and raised in southern Missouri, where he found a deep connection with nature, which would later influence his creative work. He began playing guitar at an early age and started composing original songs soon after. He studied classical guitar in St. Louis under John McClellan and later in Cleveland under Jason Vieaux. In between music projects, Chris began experimenting with visual arts by using elevation data and cartographic practices to generate abstract and sometimes psychedelic visualizations. His current musical work ranges from classical ensembles to heavy metal, experimental soundscapes, and Americana.

Now based in Montana, he continues to perform widely, drawing inspiration from the region’s landscape and arts communities. Chris is part of the musical duo DECOR with longtime collaborator Izzytime and also appears in the science-fiction audio drama Dark Journeys. Other projects currently include the Black Sabbath tribute Sabbath Worship, string band Spirit Dust, cello/classical guitar duo Zimmerman-Crecelius as well as performing with a wide range of artists.
