His music was once labeled American folk music. Today, if you had to describe the music of Southern California-based singer/songwriter, Chris Huff, go with Americana. Rodney Crowell said the defining characteristic of Americana music is that the practitioners are poets, the likes of Guy Clark, Steve Earle and Townes Van Zandt. Chris’ music follows in the footsteps of these Texas luminaries. Stir into that mix a little Butch Hancock and John Prine, and you begin to get a feel for the kind of acoustic music Chris plays.

Americana artist, Chris Huff, plays original songs influenced by the likes of Guy Clark, John Prine, and Townes Van Zandt. An Air Force brat who grew up all over, Chris cut his musical teeth on the Austin bar circuit, opening for Butch Hancock, Bill & Bonnie Hearne, Shake Russell, Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, Junior Brown, and others. He was selected twice to play in the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Concerts and is currently recording his second record, “El Segundo.”
