Upcoming Gigs
LIVE MUSIC in 2022
- I've started playing every Monday night at the Maltings in York again.
- Stout Boots and Crazy Chester have emerged from their lockdown slumbers, stretched a bit, dusted off their gig pants and are heading straight for the bar...
- I'm playing in a couple of cosy duos - one kinda Celtic; one kinda country; both kinda cool
- Mostly Autumn gigs are back in the diary! Tickets available now from the respective venues.
Solo Gigs
An engaging and energetic performer Chris plays a vital mix of hip Americana, alt rock and vibrant folk tunes. A respected musician and songwriter known for his original work with Mostly Autumn, Fish and Heather Findlay, Chris now fronts crossover progressive rock band Halo Blind and plays acoustic versions from his compelling original catalogue at his solo shows.
Band and Duo Gigs
• Crazy Chester: full band with a badass rhythm section, piano, guitars and 4 singers doing loads of ace harmonies. We play groovy hip 70's Americana soul, but we'll give anything a go that we find fun to play.
• Stout Boots : folky Celtic pub songs played hard. With guitars, flutes, whistles, double bass, accordion (not all at the same time..) and lots of harmonies
• Chris Johnson and Jon Benton: harmony ridden duo versions of classic Dylan, The Byrds, Gram Parsons, Neil Young, John Prine and Steve Earle. Stuff like that.
• Chris Johnson and Angela Gordon: gorgeous folksy-tinged songwriter material, cool original songs and Celtic covers.
• Mostly Autumn: UK progressive rock giants. Big, emotive original songs performed in clubs and theatres.
All the gigs are FREE unless otherwise stated (except the Mostly Autumn shows which you'll definitely need to buy tickets for. Check the venues for details.)
