March 2, 2024Chris was the “icing on the cake” for a recent retirement celebration at our East Memphis bank. He played and sang while employees and clients mingled, ate, and drank. Chris’s wonderful music kept the atmosphere festive and fun. Not only is he a talented musician,but a friendly and kind gentleman. I can’t wait to hire him for future events!

February 20, 2024We hired Chris to play guitar and sing at our wedding rehearsal dinner at Rendezvous in Memphis, TN. Chris definitely added the extra touch we needed to make the evening so much fun. The vibes were so good and he is so very talented. He even allowed my father in law to make a request. Chris is such a kind individual to work with as well and should we ever need entertainment for an event again, we WILL be calling Chris.

October 1, 2023Our RV club was pleased to have Chris Gayles perform for us during our rally. He is a personable individual and a dynamic entertainer. Our club came to Memphis for its music roots, and Chris gave us an evening full of blues and soul. His mastery of the guitar was exceptional. His vocals carried us all to where time stops, and the river runs, and the mind reflects on things around you. Chris is an exceptional performer who brings the Memphis sound to his audience. We were blessed to spend an evening with him.

My objective at any show of any size audience is to provide a high level professionalism for the event planner and a high level of entertainment energy for the audience. If I have made the event planner look good by hiring me then I have done my job.
Born in Memphis, TN and grew up in northern Mississippi, Chris has always been surrounded with the rich music of the Memphis area. His father was heavily involved in the gospel scene of the area both as a gospel disc jockey and a gospel performer.

For small to medium venues I will have everything needed for the performance. I will just need one isolated power circuit. If plugging into a a larger system for a larger venue I will only need one or two xlr cables for the mixing console.
