Hi folks,
I’ve updated the ‘live‘ section of my website for those looking to attend a performance. For those looking to book you can still get in touch via email chris@chris-chambers.com
So there.
Chris
Hello folks,
I’m now taking summer bookings for private outdoor events in accordance with government regulations, contact by clicking the link or photos below.

Hello friends,
Today I’m releasing a new song in a very unoriginal and antiquated way than you’re probably used to in recent years. Some of you may be thinking “Neat!” while others are thinking the exact opposite, in which case you should probably ask yourself why you’re reading this in the first place.
Regardless of your opinion on me or what I do I’ve decided to make the song available for download from my website for the low price of absolutely free to you, your friends, family and your dog.
At this point you may be yelling something like “THAT IS THE DUMBEST IDEA EVER! HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE MAD?!” and you would of course be very right, alas, there is more to the story.
What if I told you that I’m willing to give you an opportunity to be a part of the music creation process? Some of you might again be saying “Neat!” while a larger constituency will have already left long ago.
The way it works is you can contribute by donating whatever amount of money you choose using the PayPal and/or e-transfer information found above and below, a ‘pay what you can’ scenario. There are those who may choose a large amount, others far less, and again some of you will contribute nothing at all, you can still have the song for that non-price.
Here is the link to own the physical file forever or until your computer and/or device spontaneously combusts:

If you’re wondering why I’ve decided to do this, foremost is because I want those interested to enjoy my music. Second, like any other job I also like being paid for my work. Showbiz, baby!
If you decide to pay for the song, your money belongs to me, however you now own something I spent both time and older money on, and who’s to say the new money I receive won’t go toward future music? Whether that means recording equipment, new guitar strings, or maybe just paying my electricity bill so I don’t have to work in the dark all the time.
There’s also a (very good)chance that I’ll blow it on champagne and reefer, the point is, once the transaction has been completed I call the shots moving forward.

For those of you who find this entire process foreign, complex and scary I will also be releasing to streaming services on May 2nd but would like the opportunity to know how it feels to give music away for free on my own accord.
Spotify will be just fine without me for a few days.
Three cheers for commerce!
P.S. you can probably write it off on your taxes if you’re really clever.

Hi folks,
Rather than bore you with what ‘strange times we live in’ I’d just like to let any interested parties know that I’ve joined Twitch and will be doing livestream events from there moving forward. There’s also a new video some friends and I did a few months ago, you can find both links below.

Hello Earthling,
Since we last communicated I’ve updated the ‘Live’ and ‘Writing’ section of this site, do have a look. I’d also like to share an upcoming performance which will be streaming online from the Westdale Theatre in my hometown.

End communication,
Chris
Hello Earthlings,
As things begin to evolve into a new version of the way they may or may not have been my public and private music appearances are beginning to increase. Please check the ‘Live’ section for any updates and feel free to reach out regarding bookings/sessions of any kind.
Hello good folks,
I’ve got a few updates given the current situation, specifically in regards to live music being prohibited in bars and restaurants upon their reopening.
Given that these venues are where I’ve made the majority of my living for many years I’ll be offering live performances for neighbourhood/backyard parties as social gathering limits are relaxed along with current online performances (public and private).
Second, the lockdown has allowed me much more time to contribute tracks to projects outside of my own, below are a few of tunes I was lucky enough to be a part of.
Finally, I’ve had a few people inquire about online lessons, so let’s add that to the pile.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out via email or social media.
