Chris Gheran writes and sings his fresh Hard Folk the old-fashioned way. Think acoustic. Think lyrics that touch your soul. Sounds like John Lennon. Charms like George Formby.
Monster (2008) rocks out his Hard Folk band style; Coup d'etat (2010) is a solo collection of unique perspectives on war and society; Calgary (2011) has a calico sound; and MATTERHORN (2012) was recorded in his own studio.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Opening with "Working Class Hero," Chris charmed the fans of Brandi Carlile. He kicked off 2015 performing on the VIA Rail train to Toronto and back with a show at The Cavern. 2014 included a song written in only 7 days as part of the global Acoustic Guitar Project, showcasing at Folk Allliance in Kansas City, East Coulee Springfest, and Calgary Stampede, along with songwriting competitions: South Country Fair and Calgary Folk Music Festival.
Chris has confidently opened for The Fray, The Doll Sisters, Lucas Chaisson, The Wailin' Jennys and Jonathan Richman.

 

Lisa Anderson writes and performs whimsical piano pop tunes. She has performed across Canada and Spain and released her debut album in 2013. She is currently working on her sophomore album which is set to be released in 2016. Lisa will be accompanied by Maxwell McFadyen on upright bass and Nicole Romeril on violin. Both of these accomplished musicians play in several groups around Calgary and regardless of the genre they are playing, they always bring their unique flair and passion to the mix.
