Fences started in 2004, in Boston, the day Chris Mansfield thought, "I figured I might as well name this group of songs I'd been writing and have something to do with myself." He, like his music, is nothing if not brutally honest. Mansfield was a student of jazz at the Berklee College of Music when he met his roommate, who played acoustic guitar and wrote terribly sad songs. Inspired by John's musical musings, Chris sold his upright bass for $5,000, used some of that money to buy an acoustic guitar, then spent the next year wrestling his personal demons.
