He's done the "covers circuit" with band Crywolf in 2002 in various reputable venues in QLD, NSW and NT. Highlights of his career include support for Screaming Jets and The Angels in 2007, and the opportunity to play in some of the finest live music venues in Brisbane like the Hi Fi at West End and The Zoo in the Valley.


Chris can be heard on the released cds Spinning Silver "Freaks of Nature" MindsAlike "rebirth of a way," Col Usher "A mostly Acoustic Album" and many more. He remains active in the industry,currently playing and musically directing for City Church, freelances for reputable cover bands like Chester, Stifflers Mum and duo covers act Chaos and Rapture.
