Performing Live at the Gramohone

Oct 19, 2009 Acoustic

Chris Ayer w/ Sheila Shahpari & Will Saulsbery

chrisayerChris Ayer is a Brooklyn, NY-based singer-songwriter. He was the 2006 Lennon Award winner in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, in the Folk category, but to pigeonhole him as a folkie doesn’t tell the whole story. Elements of pop, rock, country and even jazz permeate Chris Ayer’s sound.  His new album “Don’t Go Back To Sleep” comes out this summer, and he’ll be on the road playing shows throughout 2009.

“A folk-pop sound with an upbeat tempo that could make the sun peek through the storm clouds” -Hybrid Magazine

“Breezy singer-songwriter pop… come for the catchy melodies, stay for the minor IV chords.” -Guitar Player Magazine

“Has it all: tight arrangements, excellent musicality and imaginative lyrics.” -Performing Songwriter Magazine

“Part street poet, part armchair philosopher, Chris Ayer will leave you smiling whether you feel like smiling or not.” -Buddy Hollywood

Doors at 8 p.m., show at 9 p.m. 21+, $8.
