Thank You
Thank you for all the get well wishes and kind words that have been sent my way the past 2 weeks. I’m home resting and recovering with my new heart valve (many thanks to a terrific cardiac team) and look forward to being back on the road in March.
Rescheduled Shows
The concerts scheduled November 18-February 28 are being rescheduled so Chris may return home to address an immediate medical matter. We regret any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
Feast Your Ears!
Chris was recently interviewed for Feast Your Ears!, a documentary about the legendary Washington, DC radio station WHFS.
One of the most beloved stations in the history of FM radio, WHFS was a station that championed vernacular American music absent in standard rock programming at the time – mixing in blues, jazz, comedy, country, bluegrass, folk, cajun, and zydeco. The filmmakers have launched a Kickstarter program to help finance the final stages of the project. If you’re interested in helping the film reach its audience, click here.
