    <description>Zookeeper is the name Chris Simpson has chosen for whatever new musical endeavors he is undertaking. Chris Simpson used to be that guy in Mineral and The Gloria Record. Chris Simpson might have considered using his own name for his new music, but there is already a pretty amazing Christian R&amp;amp;B guy using the moniker. Chris Simpson, the Christian R&amp;amp;B guy&amp;#39;s records can be found at pretty much any internet music site. Zookeeper currently doesn&amp;#39;t have any records, but please enjoy these works in progress. Thank you for your time.</description>

  <comment>Chris Simpson honed chops with Mineral and later the Gloria Record, but with solo venture Zookeeper, the Austinite has found his calling, and it ain't emo. Simpson waxes philosophic all over 2007's Becoming All Things (Belle City Pop!), but where structure and melody once stood strong, country-fried daydreams and a family atmosphere now reside. &#8211; Darcie Stevens</comment>
  <comment>Zookeeper is the perfect nom d&#8217;arte for Chris Simpson. Technically Zookeeper is a band, a group effort, but Simpson is the one constant.&lt;a href=&quot;http://austinist.com/2007/12/19/austinist_show_89.php&quot;&gt;more at austinist.com&lt;/a&gt;</comment>
  <comment>Austin's Zookeeper is the latest pop project of Chris Simpson (with a revolving cast of supporting musicians).Consider this band the grown-up version...&lt;a href=&quot;http://chicago.ohmyrockness.com/BandBio.cfm?BandID=7975&quot;&gt;more at ohmyrockness.com&lt;/a&gt; </comment>
