Chris's musical roots can be traced back to a diverse array of influences. "The Beatles were my first love," he recalls, "followed by an eclectic mix of Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills & Nash, Joe Cocker, and Bob Seger." While country music wasn't his primary focus, he holds a special appreciation for the classics, influenced by the likes of Willie Nelson and other icons of Texas country. These influences, along with the rich musical legacy of his father, who led a band for 25 years, have profoundly shaped Chris's artistic direction.
