20 years of writing and recording!

Hello, I’m an independent guitarist/singer/songwriter/producer in the Seattle area. Originally from Michigan, I toured much of the midwest in the 90’s as frontman for melodic prog rock band Jester’s Crown, releasing 2 full length CD’s - "Above the Storm" (1994) and "Away" (1997) - as well as the acoustic EP "Where Daydreams Play" (1996).

Moving to Seattle at the turn of the millennium, I continued on my own recording all instruments in my home studio for the CD "Marooned" (2001). Unfortunately, time restrictions within the boundaries of raising a young family and pursuing my career as Senior Producer at videogame developer Surreal Software then forced a large gap in more recent musical pursuits.

Four new songs were recorded in 2007 and three at the end of 2008.  Five new songs, including unusual collaborations, are being posted during the Fall of 2009.  Between this page and www.reverbnation.com/jesterscrown you can experience 20 years of Chris's songwriting and recording!  Whether you are a new listener or an old fan - thanks for listening and I look forward to bringing you more in the near future.

Chris
