Chris Beales is a singer / songwriter from Reading, where he appears in many different musical settings. He is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Static Rain . Acoustically he jams at local pubs and clubs, and he recorded an acoustic solo album earlier this year.
The solo album, Ragged Valentine , is a collection of songs that range from intimate to bluesy and passionate. Featuring soaring saxophone solos and subtle flamenco guitars, as well as cool piano chords and catchy vocals, there is a great variety of sounds.
Chris has drawn together some of the musicians he has played with over the years for Ragged Valentine. The result is a landmark of musical styles and personal memories, which was recreated live at the sold out launch gig at Reading's South Street Arts Centre.
