Chris Fyfe

Chris Fyfe performs shows that hold true to Traditional Country values, as well as Western Swing music that has an emphasis on swing. Reminiscent of the style of Asleep at the Wheel. Also, bringing some great country boogie style music to the scene, his shows are energetic and well received.

Born in Gardiner Maine, Chris was raised in his hometown of Pittston Maine where he still resides. He started actively playing piano at the age of 6 and was self taught without lessons on an old upright piano that his parents brought home. Chris started singing at 5 years of age. He would sing at the local Grange hall at that age in his uncles band, who on occasion would let him sing a few tunes. During his school years, he was always involved in music, whether it was band or chorus. He would compete in school talent shows as well. Chris played his first paid gig at the age of 13 as a solo act. He continued to perform from there on a regular basis. His first, most notable group was Aces & Eights during the latter part of the 80's until 2001, when the group disbanded. Since then Chris has performed with many musicians, in all types of venues, and at all types of events. He performs primarily with his own group now performing his Merle Haggard Tribute Show with a mix of a few Western Swing and Boogie style tunes. He has performed in stage shows as the piano player for the likes of Highway 101, Michael Twitty, Tony Booth, Johnny Tillotson, Stan Jr., Leona Williams, Ron Williams, and has opened for Lee Greenwood, Charlie Daniels, Gene Watson and others.

Sound system is provided through contract when the band is booked for most events. Larger venues, or outdoor shows requiring larger sound systems will need to be contracted or provided. The provision of sound engineers and sound systems can be negotiated with the price of acquiring the band if needed. A stage plot is provided on request to be utilized by the sound engineering company and staff.
