 Born into a musical family, Chris started playing piano at age 9, but soon switched to guitar. From his earliest years, he has been captivated by different styles and genres and has been inspired by a variety of artists. He continues to draw on these influences and is always seeking out new songs and sounds. The common denominator is great songwriting, regardless of style or era, from Gershwin to The Beatles and Dylan, to current artists like Jason Isbell.

 Chris has currently been featuring and performing at open mikes in the Boston area, playing local venues and Farmers Markets, and teaching guitar and piano.
