About Me

It is easy to hear who Chris's influences are. Chris's sound is a combination of modern acoustic pop with classic 70's acoustic rock.Add a little Jam from some of the accomplished players that play with him, Like legendary Boston Sax player Tony Quintiliani or Berkely Grad Dave Brunyak. What catches your attention first are Chris's Vocals."Chris has a commanding,powerful voice that grabs your attention and yet you feel like you instantly know him when you listen to his compassion filled lyrics and melodies."-Tony QuintilianiChris is known throughout the area as he has been aggressively playing venues all over New England for the last 8 years. In June,2004 Chris released his Debut CD titled "American Dream" featuring some heart filled originals and classic covers. The CD spent 10 Straight weeks on the top 10 list on www.cdfreedom.com. Catch Chris Live and come hear what Boston and New England is already buzzing about. Coming Soon....Chris's second CD titled "I believe"
