Goldilocks (original song)
Inner City Blues by Marvin Gaye
I typically perform a mix of covers (from the 60's to now with a little emphasis on 90's tunes) with my personal spin on each song. I also perform original music. I use a loop pedal, taking my sound from an intimate single guitar and vocal to creating an invisible backing band of additional guitars, percussion, and vocals, adding energy and creativity. I've been honing my craft, performing regularly for many years at music venues, restaurants, breweries, wineries, corporate events, and private events. I frequently receive this feedback from listeners: "You are one of the best singers and guitar players I have seen live! We came for one round but decided to stay for your whole set!"

September 30, 2026Chris is an amazing musician and entertainer with a huge range of songs & musical talent. He's performed numerous times at the restaurant, and every time we've been impressed. He's super chill, reads the room very well, & is great at keeping the crowd's energy going the entire set. We've used him for several shows at the restaurant and also for a major private event, and are excited to have him come back!

I’ve been performing and writing songs for most of my life. My love for music started early, watching my
dad’s band and feeling the kick drum shake the room. As a teenager, I began honing my craft as a
singer-songwriter and guitarist, playing in various bands and fronting an indie-rock group.
That journey has taken me from living rooms to arenas and even led to a song collaboration featured
on ESPN. My songwriting is inspired by artists like Coldplay, John Mayer, Radiohead, Stevie Wonder, and
many across the history of rock ’n’ roll.
These days, most of what I do is perform as a solo artist, using a loop pedal to take my sound from an intimate single vocal and guitar to layers of percussion, guitars, and vocals, building an invisible band that adds energy and fun!
When I’m not making music, you’ll find me riding Minneapolis bike trails, traveling with my wife, checking out local coffee shops, and raising three strong girls.
