Chris Burns – Orlando

What He Sounds Like:
A simplistic sound is conveyed through the various instruments that Chris Burns brings to his performance. Chris has a warm and welcoming voice that keeps his listeners engaged.  Inspired by such big names as Paul Simon, Keller Williams, and, of course, The Beatles, he has taken these inspirations in his life to produce a unique role in the singer/songwriter genre.

In His Words:
REAX:  How do you differ from other singer/songwriters trying to do the same thing?
Chris Burns:  I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. I just write what is true to me and hope that people can relate to it and enjoy it.

REAX:  What made you want to do the solo thing? I see you have played in different bands, but you have settled into this roll quite nicely. What brought you here?
Chris Burns: I loved being in a band and maybe I will be again down the road.  Right now it’s just easier. It’s just me… succeed or fail it’s just me.

Why You Should Check Him Out:
This hardworking musician recently released his first solo EP, CB Radio, and is in the works of mixing a live album from Underground Bluz. CB Radio is a creative conceptual album linked by clips from what sounds like old radio shows. He is diligently working on promoting this new album and eager for everyone to hear his creation. To help promote, Chris is currently performing all over the state of Florida through December, and has a listing of all upcoming shows on his MySpace page.
