Bio
Montreal artist, Chris Velan, does not fit the typical singer-songwriter mold. A musician and songwriter his whole life, he studied law and passed the bar only to leave that path to travel to West Africa where he helped make a documentary film about a group of refugee musicians from Sierra Leone.
Chris’ music is born of duality. He sings of things big and small, of darkness and beauty,
love and destruction, and of the struggle for personal fulfillment against the doubts that so
often hold...
Press
"Cunningly disguised as jangly chill-lax pop, Solidago reveals whipsmart songcraft and no bullshit guitar rockers juxtaposed amidst easy-going ditties. Think Petty, Wallflowers, Marley, Paul Simon... the kind of political/romantic moxie that makes me think hell yes, I too am a Hardway Learner."
