Chris got his first set of Ludwig drums shortly after the Beatles made their famous debut on the Ed Sullivan Show. He cut his teeth on the sounds of the 'English Invasion" as well as James Brown, Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett. As a teen he played in a number of rock and soul cover bands. In the 1970s he played in some of the first country-rock bands in the midwest. Working primarily out of Milwaukee, WI.
In the 80's Chris played with the classic rock band, The Adults laying down dance tunes at clubs throughout the city. In the 90s, his band The Chute Roosters, were the recipients of four consecutive Country Group of the Year WAMI awards.
Currently Chris is working with Larry Lynne, Milwaukee's oldest working rock and roll guitarist, on live gigs and recording sessions.
