Rita MacNeil"A real country album that reflects Chris’s passion for traditional music,…. Congratulations on this fine new album." as quoted by Paul Kennedy of Kennedy Artist Promotions, June 12th 2002"Too good to be true! I can see a touch of Alan Jackson & Hank Snr in your voice and style, but you sound different. You will go down in history as the greatest country singer to ever come out of Nfld & Labrador and that’s saying a mouthful, but I am a straight shooter and give credit where credit is due. The sky’s the limit for you! as quoted by Michael T. Wall Oct 10th 2002"I receive quite a few CDs in the mail, but never have I been so impressed with every sound as I was with Chris’s original material. I really and truly enjoyed every cut and before I even put the CD on the player I knew it had to be a ‘keeper’." as quoted by Jan Patterson-Levi, Keepin' It Kountry Music Services Calgary Oct 31st 2002"What a great job you did… it looks very good and it sounds even better. I hope Canadian radio will be ready to play any singles you release. " as quoted by Debbie Drummond of TRAX 18th Oct 2002"I am completely astounded with your project! You singing of country music is the way country music should be and always will be. Your writings are equal to, if not better than, Nashville & Canadian writers. What a beautiful production!" as quoted by John Gavin, Atlantic Seabreeze magazine Nov 14th 2002"Chris is making a giant leap into country music in Canada and abroad. His traditional country singing is absolutely up there with all the Nashville country singers and perhaps better. Country music fans are in for a treat with this well-produced album. It is not too often a singer/songwriter comes along with such a force." an excerpt from the CD review from Atlantic Seabreeze Nov 14th 2002"It should be an honour to be if I could give airplay to Chris Gill’s songs. " Luc Bouckhuyt, Radio Amerika, Belgium"I really like Chris Gill’s music! I have selected tracks 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 to be on the air from mid-November." Mike Pennard, DJ@ISA Radio, France"Excellent album! Chris has a fine new album and we have added it to our daily playlist which is carried on the syndicated network to 78 stations across the USA." Shane Wilder, programme Director, Trans American Broadcasting Corp. Nov 5th 2002"Tell me how by Corner Brook Native, Chris Gill, is a real piece of work! It’s as good a package as I have ever seen at any level of CD marketing. His thoughtfulness and honesty are the benchmarks of the 14 original cuts and Chris’s performance stands out. The songs are the essence of good country music…. Straight forward and honest." Lloyd Bartlett, Regional Director Western Nfld MIA as quoted in the Nov. 2002 issue of The Measure.........Chris Gill is a native of Corner Brook, Newfoundland, but currently resides in Truro, Nova Scotia. He has been playing and writing music since the age of 9, and started playing the local clubs and Legions at age 13. Originally a drummer in numerous bands, he then became involved in vocals, and finally became the lead singer. He also started his song writing at this time.In his late teenage years he wrote and recorded 4 vinyl single releases to radio across Canada, which received considerable airplay and this encouraged him to continue with writing original compositions.Chris has continued with his song writing and recording throughout the years while gaining his commercial helicopter pilots license, running his own graphic design company and gaining a black belt in Martial Arts. However, music was always his passion and he continues to return to this first love, and this is where he feels most at home and content.Throughout the 90's he released another three songs to radio through compilation CD's and independant releases. His songwriting talents have been recognized by Joan Besen of Prairie Oyster, when they shared a stage in a songwriters circle at the CCMA's in Calgary.USA Billboard magazine honored him with an achievement award in their international songwriting competition. Chris has also been a three time semi-finalist in the annual "Startrax" competition and a regional "Project Discovery" semi-finalist. Both competitions are for original music.Chris's latest focus has been his debut CD, "Tell Me How". The 14 song CD has taken the better part of two years to complete and even as he was in the process of recording, his creative song writing added another 2 songs to the original 12 favorites he had already picked! Chris had a hand in all aspects of producing this CD, from writing all the 14 tracks himself, to arranging the music, mixing and doing the CD graphics and design work. He is also proud to say that this project is a testament to our talented Canadian musicians 100%.Chris has spent over 20 years in the music business and he is no less passionate about his music now, as he was back then. Wherever he is, guitar, pen and paper are never far away, as music is in his heart and soul and always will be.
