IWhile at a party in Austin recently the host asked me, "How do you like my entertainment?" I turned to take a look around ....and wow, there was Chris! I thought it was a James Taylor CD. Keep Jamming, MAN! Sounds great!

"I have known Chris for 8+ years now and he is by far an extremely talented musician and entertainer. Chris provides a service that is rare in this modern world we live. It is so relaxing and fun to sit back and enjoy his music and performance. I have admired from afar how he can capture an audience and make them a vital part to his music. He has a talent of remembering people and faces and has never met a stranger. Chris also is an accomplished artist. His creativity is unique and first class. I contracted Chris for an art piece I wanted with some very unique guidelines. He interviewed me for my needs and thoughts and assured me he could provide what I was looking for in the art. There are no good words to fully describe the masterpiece of his final product but it has touched the hearts of everyone who has seen it hanging on my father’s wall."

I never realized the impact of a musician until our event where I heard time after time how much joy you inspired through your music and how special everyone felt. It would mean the world to me for you to know just how amazing you are and how enjoyable it was for every single guest listening to you. We heard you compared to Cat Stevens more than a few times!
You are simply delightful and warm and we can tell you have a big heart and a love for music. You made our event special and unique and you helped us communicate our love to everyone there.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Simply amazing! The sounds of his voice, the strum of his guitar and delivery are so captivating. I just heard him at the Scarecrow Festival earlier today and bought both CDs (all i need now and my red guitar) and simply, thoroughly enjoy them. I WILL BE BUYING THE REST OF THEM NOW!

We heard you for the 1st time Friday night at the UT club. You were PHENOMENAL! Look forward to coming to hear you again at the Oasis this summer.

"Thanks for “making” our party at the Broken Oak! We loved every song you performed and our guests couldn’t stop talking about you! You transported many of us back to our college days!"

We have several musicians come and play our festival each month…Chris is the only one that we all can’t wait to hear again. He plays the music that everyone enjoys. Not the same old umpa lumpa country stuff that others play.

- Jody, Gruene, TX

If James Taylor, John Denver and Aaron Nevelle had a son…he would sing and play like Chris…

- Gary, Victoria, TX

A human jukebox! We hired Chris to play a 50^th birthday bash. What a hit! At first, our guest thought he was a CD playing. And what a playing machine he was! He played for over 4 hours and never repeated a song… nor did he take a break! WOW!

I’m Doc Holliday (Ed Pothul) from KTEX-106 in Brenham. I was at your April show at Rendez Vous when you gave me a copy of “I Was There”. We’ve been playing it ever since and it’s receiving a hell of a response. We started with it on my Friday night Texas Music show, Club Lone Star. The response has been so good that we added it to our regular rotation. It seems like just recently the song is getting even more response and requests. It’s a definite winner!

-Doc, KTEX 106 FM

I heard Chris sing at a business conference and HAD to have him at the Welcome Reception for my daughter’s wedding. He MADE the evening! Everyone one of our friends and family enjoyed him, and were absolutely “blown away” by his talent. Thank you for making my daughters wedding weekend so incredibly special.

-Sharon Howard, Atlanta, GA

I couldn't believe my hears! thought I was hearing recorded music in the lounge until the chef told me that it was someone live. I left the restaurant area and walked into the lobby bar and couldn't believe my eyes! There was a huge crowd, the lobby bar was full and everyone checking-in or passing through couldn't leave. Wow! Seattle is known for it's live music but this Texas guy stole the show!

-Amy, The Westin - Seattle

So my musician friends and I just stood there listening to Chris perform all those songs and we began to ask each other. Did any of us know another musician, who isn’t already famous, that could sing and play like Chris? We couldn’t think of anyone!

"I thoroughly enjoyed your Christmas CD and am now enjoying Yellow Prairie. I will get the one next that has all of YOUR songs. The sound bites tell me that I can’t wait. Thank you for the music and have a wonderful, wonderful year. Thank God for you and Thank you for the music….

"I've been in Austin 'the live music capital of the world' all week and Chris is by far the best we've heard!"

I have played your CD a million times! I love your voice. I wish the entire world could hear you! You are wonderful. I am almost 60, you take me back in time. Thank You!

I listen to many a singer on the radio that couldn’t hold a candle to Chris in the voice department…

Paul, Austin TX

I have worked in radio and the music industry and heard a lot of musicians…

Chris is the real deal.Great voice. He sings with heart and passion.

Great blend of music! Who needs a DJ? Who needs the LOUD band?

Chris was born to sing. In my opinion, he is a steal at any price. So many “Texas Artist” think they can sing… Chris really can!

Jerry, College Station, TX

My wife didn’t want to leave the restaurant so we kept drinking coffee and listen to Chris. We heard others request songs and Chris played everyone.

He did Bob Seger better than

Bob Seger.
