Chris was absolutely what we were wanting for our party--his voice is amazing--he does some covers(sounds just like James Taylor) and he has his own pieces that are really great--we will definitely use him again--very easy to work with and a fun guy as well

Chris made my dream of live music for my wedding ceremony come true! He learned three fingerstyle songs and played them fantastically. He was communicative, laid back, and fun. Thanks so much for helping make our day special, Chris!

His playing style is quietly lyrical. Even if intended as subtle background music, it is worth listening for the skill and style of his craft. He is a good singer and appears to be very well rounded as a musician.
Hire him.

Chris provided an excellent evening of entertainment. He worked with me ahead of time to get some logistical info regarding the type of party and crowd to dial in some of the song list. I also provided a list of family/friend xmas favorites and he incorporated every song on my list into his set list. Overall it was a great evening and I received many compliments for bringing in such quality entertainment.

We hired Chris for a split Catholic wedding ceremony in May just a couple of months before the wedding. He was very quick to respond and made sure he was very prepared for our ceremony. More importantly, he is a phenomenal musician and singer and we received many compliments from our guests. He was the perfect choice for us!
