BIOGRAPHY

Chris James J is an American singer/songwriter from Western Massachusetts who plays guitar, harmonica, and sings a variety of originals and favorites. Reminiscent of artists like Jackson Browne, Tom Petty and Jack Johnson, Chris creates an easy-listening vibe with his lightly percussive acoustic playing and vocal harmonies. His style is influenced by alt-country, rock, funk, and hip hop. Drawing from meaningful real life experiences, fiction, and bits of conversation overheard at the supermarket checkout, Chris’ lyrics range from sweet sentimental storytelling to abstract and absurdist rhyming.
