Chris Thayer

Like a potent dose of musical truth serum, Chris Thayer injects bittersweet moments with a refreshing blend of wry wit and unfiltered honesty. With an all-new lineup of top-notch players, Chris Thayer embarks on the next chapter of his musical journey with his upcoming release, "THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PILLOW."

Chris's journey into the world of vocals began with a bang as "Danny Zuko" in a high school production of Grease at the tender age of 17. Throughout the years, he fronted various bands, including the alt-rock outfit Stillwater Black and the jump blues sensation, Big Papa and the TCB. Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of artists like Jim Croce, Robert Cray, James Taylor, Prince, Live, and the Dave Matthews Band, Chris infuses the literary flair of a poet into the powerful and infectious pop/rock canvas.

With a seasoned career spanning decades, Chris Thayer has graced stages as a headliner and shared them with a plethora of national acts. From James Taylor and the Doobie Brothers to the Bacon Brothers featuring Kevin Bacon, Styx, Little River Band, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Johnny Winter, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, and Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers, his musical prowess has captivated audiences far and wide. In 2003, CT released the "Phoenix" CD and toured the western U.S., even making an appearance on the NBC morning show in Eugene, OR. 2006 marked the release of "Chasing Venus," a culmination of years of songwriting and life experiences.
