ABOUT

Now retired from an exacting academic career, I'm back to my first love - Chicago & Texas blues & blues rock. In former 'lives', I've been a session & gigging pro muso and recording engineer.

I’m the ‘Dr Chris‘ in Dr Chris & The Redeemers, an increasingly solid 4-piece blues rock outfit blending old-school Texas & delta blues, funk, soul, and an increasing rep of original material that’s about ready to record.

We’d maybe like to add KEYS at some stage - some vocal ability with that would be a bonus - so it’s always good to know who’s around and about... please feel free to get in touch!
