December 9, 2025A Great Find!
I enjoyed working with Chris at our fundraiser event. He is friendly, accommodating and professional. His singing and playing were excellent. He arrived an hour before his performance and was well prepared. The background guitar music he provided was relaxing. At the end of the evening he led us in a rousing round of Christmas Carols to finish off the evening. I would definitely hire him again.

Chris was amazing. He arrived early and was ready to start performing right at our agreed upon time. He texted at the end of his performance to let me know he was wrapping things up. Chris is very talented and he sounded great. Thank you Chris!

About
Chris McGinnis writes songs that exist somewhere between a hiccup and a heartache. His most recent EP, Songs For You, touches on the peculiarity of your hometown morphing beyond recognition. It tells the story of two Baby Boomers falling in and out of love across time zones and decades. It's about connection and disconnection alike. With the release of his debut full-length album Mamaw's Angel, Chris veers deeper into these familiar themes. Through tales of stolen Winnebagos and hip-shaking grandbabies, Chris' music is Appalachian absurdity for the 21st Century.
