Known for his heartfelt songwriting, self-taught musicianship and captivating live performances, he first broke onto the scene with his debut single Heaven’s Eyes, which has accumulated close to 17 million Spotify streams.
For the last two years, he’s been living in Montana, the heartland of America, with bison, big skies and open highways, the rugged beauty of the American heartland.
Chris returned to his hometown of Belfast to record the new single, bringing his two worlds together. Eighteen-22 is raw and road-worn – music for your soul.
Subsequent releases, including Made For More, Dreams, Me and Mine and Me Myself and I, have continued to build a loyal and growing audience.
Alongside the release of Eighteen 22, Chris has announced six Irish tour dates for September 2026, performing with his full band and joined by special guests across the country.
