About Me

“In A Wyrd Place” will introduce you to eclectic singer- songwriter Chris Laubis and the wyrd world around him. Chris is a native New Yorker who has become a part of the growing musical thread that runs through New York’s Hudson Valley Region.
This collection of thirteen wistful tracks brings Chris and his band together with some good friends at Millbrook Sound Studios to create a musical mosaic creatively produced by John Valenti .
Wyrd; meaning fateful, unearthly or foreboding, is an appropriate description of this disc which features 11 original compositions and 2 magical cover songs.
A variety of organic instruments compliment the acoustic-based arrangements, seamlessly tying the tracks together.
Special appearances are made throughout the record by friends and supporters such as Richie Scarlet (Mountain) Frank Carillo (John Hammond, Peter Frampton), and Eddie Seville (Steel Rodeo).
Lending his talents to the final mixing and mastering sessions was Paul Orofino whose extensive list of credits include Blue Oyster Cult, Ahmad Jamal and Golden Earring just to name a few.
Chris will be returning to Millbrook Studio this year to begin work on his new CD. Joining him will be John Valenti, Eddie Seville, Alfred Sire and Karl Allweier.
