About Me

This journey began many years ago in a small town church just outside of Haileybury, Ontario. Young Chris Brinklow stood bravely along the side of his father and sang his heart out as his dad played his Pan guitar. The song was called: Germs, My Invisible Dog. Chris was performing. His young ambition to entertain began on that small church stage.
Chris became self - taught as a teenager with the same guitar his dad used those many years ago. He started writing from his heart. As a strong Christian at the time, most of his songs were God based and focused around his struggles as a Christian. As the years wore on, Chris' songs took on a different surface. He started to experience this enigma called love. He started to write about love won and love lost: the hurt, the pain, the joys, the tears-- every emotion that love brought to his table.
Now, Chris Brinklow has evolved into a very open minded singer and song-writer. His songs reach towards social issues and many of life's battles that we face daily.
His influences and inspirations range from his youth, to new artists that he meets and discovers to this day: Michael W Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman and DC Talk to Simon Webbe, John Mayer and Saskatoon's own Kim Fontaine. Chris tries to take from each artist what he can, yet be able to stay as his own individual and become his own being in the music industry.
Chris has been very fortunate to share the stage with such acts as Jay Hails, Matty Powell and Kim Fontaine. He's also currently in the works to set up performances with former Northern Pikes frontman, Jay Semko.
You will not be disappointed in this class act. He's proper, professional and a crowd pleaser.
One of Saskatchewan rising stars.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Chris Brinklow.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT CHRIS BRINKLOW:

"Chris Brinklow has great vocals and "I like you, but not that way" is the song that EVERYONE, myself included, seems to love."
Ricky Smith

"Chris Brinklow offers the fun sounds similar to older Barenaked Ladies albums with the energy of Moxy Fruvous... one hell of a talent"
Kenni Kaye

"Lovely harmonies... nice lyrical work"
Dennis McCurdy. Lead singer of Dennis McCurdy and the Lonesome No More Band

" "Here to stay" is a super song!!... you have such a way about your music... guess thats what I heard the first time I hit "add as a friend"... Thanks for puttin it out there.. Those of us in LOVE just get it!!"
Annie from Minnesota

"You sound like Chris Brinklow. A little Jack Johnson with a little BNL, and a dash of a mish mash of others like them. As for what I think of the music? I enjoy very much."
Tammara Phillips

"I hope Chris take this all the way ... I've been watching his career and watching it develope ... He handles the stage really well ... I look up to him right now as one of my peers"
Clay Schurman

"Chris writes from the heart and I think that is the main reason his songs are so well liked. He writes from experience. Whether that involves some bitch who broke his heart, true love. or some one night stand from 7 yrs ago, Chris has found the instrument to tell his story. To describe his music, I'd say Jack Johnson, the Barenaked Ladies, a softer Great Big Sea, and a dash of 80s all tossed into a big stir fry. What you get is a recipe for success!!! We're all proud of ya buddy."
Nigel Maxwell - 980/ 650 News Talk Radio

"Chris has a unique talent for entertainment and he sounds like no other person i've heard. He's great!"
Jen Edge
