WHO IS CJD?
Singer/Songwriter Christopher Dallman was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI, where he was alternately the shy-guy sleeping in the back of the classroom and the star of the school play.
He bummed around Boston for a couple years before landing in NYC, where he frequented such esteemed venues as The Living Room, The Bitter End, and Cb's Gallery. After 5 years in the city culminating with the release of his debut album 'Race the Light' on Treasure Records, Dallman headed west to Los Angeles where he currently resides.
Christopher has toured theaters, clubs, and colleges NATIONWIDE as well as OVERSEAS, sharing the stage with such notable artists as Amos Lee, Jonathan Rice, Ellis Paul, Gregory Douglass, Ollabelle, Julia Darling, Rachael Sage, and Casey Stratton
You can also check out Christopher in a featured role in the film "DORIAN BLUES" now available on DVD nationwide..
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT CJD:
"Inspired showmanship... hard-driving songs" --Backstage
"A Soulful debut!" -- TimeOut Chicago
"Dallman is a fine tunesmith and his guitar-playing pulls no punches either. His distinct vocal style has touches of the lightness of a James Taylor or a David Gray. He is an assured performer who should find a ready audience for his intelligent and lyrical output around Europe." -Jackie Hayden, Hotpress Magazine, Ireland
"Christopher Dallman's debut CD is an entertainingly literary pilgrimage into the inner sanctum of the songwriter's psyche. If good songwriting confronts listeners with truth about themselves, their emotions, and their world from a fresh point of view, then the songs on Race The Light represent songwriting at its best." -Ken Mowery, Indie-Music.com
"It's uncommon that a debut album has this much punch and promise all packed into one firm unit. Wait till the Village Voice catches onto his genius, you..ll be forced to buy tickets well in advance of his shows rather than at the door." --Smother Magazine
