About Me

So a lot has changed in my months here in california. I moved here on June 1st and started things off nicely as the singer of a high powered rock band called vinson massif. We had ten days together before our first show. Things started off okay, but caught a hitch over artistical differences. -------------------- So late in July I had my first spell of depression and really wondered if LA was the right place for me. So I turned to the streets of Santa Monica, actuallly 3rd St. to be exact. Where you can now catch me most sundays thru thursdays playing my acoustic guitar and singing originals and covers (like jack johnson and coldplay). I really feel my best when I am playing on the promenade. -------------------- I have recieved so much support from everyone I've met while playing there. I also am selling a original CD for $5 and plan to record a longer cd with newer songs later this summer. -------------------- Right now I mostly work, sing and sleep. But you can see me at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills I'm the manager of the fresh market. You can also find me working at 'Bridge' on la cienega. -------------------- But please stop by the promenade and ask me anything. I'm currently just trying to situate myself and then take hold of some of the great opportunities I've been recently offered. -------------------- Thank you again for all your support and kind words. -------------------- Sincerely, Christopher -------------------- PS- My website (www.chrisshannonmusic.com) will be going through a lot of changes in the coming weeks and so will this sight. I have plans for my new cd and a photo shoot with some better picture. I was never one to be so glamorous, but am learning a lot from my Hollywood friends. So please be sure to check back often and let me know if you have any advice or comments (good/bad) about me and my music. Thanks again.
