Chris Blackburn is country, rock, pop, gospel, and rhythm and blues umbrealla'd with an impressive, soulful resonance that attracts the most discerning. With over one thousand songs from which to draw from, his music reflects the life experiences from his own perspective and that of others. He's honest and sings straight from the heart.

In 1992, Albert King invited Chris to the B.B. King's Blues Club. Chris's blues set prompted Albert to tell him, "You come back any time. You sure have a lot of soul."

Comfortable in front of a camera, Chris has appeared on local and syndicated television shows. Since 2003, he and his band have played to enthusiastic crowds north to south and helped with numerous charities and benefits in surrounding communities including…

  • The Horseshoe Casino
  • Various outdoor festivals/concerts
  • Pontiac Car Shows
  • Various nightclubs, dancehalls, and ballrooms

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM CHRIS:

I love to give back. I love to see the faces on people responding to my music and to be one of many who make a difference. I want to be there always for those who need help. It rewards my heart! I can't believe I make a living doing this. Performing is always exciting. It's where it's at for me. Thank you so much to all of my fans and the folks at radio for playing my music. —Chris Blackburn
