Although born and raised far from the Appalachian mountains, Chris does ride and roam on the folk/country road and living where he does, writing and singing songs the only way he knows how, he expresses and shares his feelings, experiences and tales be it autobiographical, true, or a simple metaphor that emotes and connects unashamedly and openly from the heart.

Now very much focused on singing and song writing, his mission is simply to reach and appeal to a larger audience.
