He has shared the stage with troubadours like Joe Ely, Mary Gauthier, and members of Old Crow Medicine Show. In 2020, Chris released his debut album Bitter Ballads & Cynical Prayers, garnering critical acclaim with American Songwriter calling it โ€œroots-thick and shadowy.. guided by velvety vocals. A delicate ebb and flow.โ€ He continues to tour in support of this album.

A Different Thread - British-Americana troubadours A Different Thread create a richly emotive tapestry of transatlantic folk.

They have garnered support slots with the likes of The Milk Carton Kids, Native Harrow, and Jody Stephens (Big Star), as well as features with NPR and the BBC.
