Bios
There's Something There
is made up of The Christopoulos Brothers, Joe and George who, along with Producer
Ford Colley, first performed together on stage more than 40 years
ago. George and Ford were later part of the Chicago based Folk-Rock
group Pieces of Eight and recorded the first Christopoulos Brothers original "Run & Hide" shortly before the group broke up in 1970. The Christopoulos Brothers
continued their musical careers composing more than 100 songs over the
course of the next 35 years and appearing on the Rock
and College touring circuit as well as in clubs throughout the country. During this
same time, Ford Colley pursued a career in broadcasting with ABC, CBS, Westinghouse and Bonneville. Although
they were aware of each others careers during this time, there was not
much interaction between Ford and the brothers until a mutual friend
brought them together in late 2007. Since then, they have re-banded as
There's Something There and are currently working on their first CD together, due for release in the Fall of 2011.

George Christopoulos - (Composer / Guitar / Bass / Lead Vocals)
The Christopoulos Brothers have always said, "You can sing as many words
as you want and write as many songs as you can. But when you feel those
grains of sand start slipping through your hand, Son you better take a
stand, or he'll take you by the hand, and lead you through his
land, and he'll make you understand, and then mark you with the brand, of a man." They have always known that they're going out the same way they came in, knowing they
are after so many, but ahead of a lot. There's an angel riding their
shoulders, playing tag for good and they're it. Singing and playing
and writing some more. "There has to be more than that to life, been told
many times before. But what more can there possibly be. 'Cept me lovin'
you and you lovin' me." Hope you enjoy the Music! George@theressomethingthere.com
Joe Christopoulos - (Composer / Lead Guitar / Keyboards / Vocals)
Joe, better known as Joe C. Songwriter, has
been a poet from a very early age. In writing lyrics he has always
communicated his feelings as though he was speaking to the entire
world. At the age of twelve he began putting his lyrics to music
creating songs. Though love is a common theme, awareness is also raised.
Questions are asked as seen through the eyes of a common man with
common sense.
