Chris Lively

Chris was fantastic. Our customers really loved his music. We definitely will do this again soon! Thank you to Gig Salad for making the connection.

Chris performed at a birthday party for 50 people. He demonstrated excellent communication before the event and was accommodating of any special requests. He showed up early to prepare. When it was time for the performance, his talent and voice were amazing. Everyone complimented the singer and asked where to find him. We are grateful he was available for our event!

He crushed our party. Everyone loved him. The set list he formulated fit our vibe perfectly. We’ll definitely be hiring him again.

Chris was so amazing. We had a party of about 50 guests and he kept everyone entertained throughout a two hour gig. While he had many covers, of which he added his own personality to and was able to field obscure artists/songs on the spot, what was most impressive was his own songs. A true artist in all respects. We will not look anywhere else for future needed.

Perfect vibe for business casual event with about 100 people. He did a great job. Highly recommend.

Chris played the second night of our wedding weekend and we were blown away by his talent and charisma. Great voice, diverse guitar skills, varied playlist that will please all ages---truly amazing. What a great addition to our experience, our guests are still talking about it. Something tells me he'll be playing our anniversaries and vow renewals. Only downside---he'll surely be more expensive by then! Just a matter of supply and demand, I guess.

Thanks, Chris!

Exactly what the our backyard cold front party of 54 needed.

I was at a soirée hosted by friend in Sugar Land at which Chris performed.
Great sets, variety of genres all performed very well. Both original and covers. Made for an enjoyable evening. The only thing surpassing his performance was the perfect weather for an outdoor gathering.
Thank you Chris.

Thank you Chris for a great performance at our Live@Aloft. We definitely would like to work with you again!

My husband and I can’t say ENOUGH about Chris. Not only is he a top-notch professional, but, even more importantly, he’s a a TOP NOTCH person!

After searching high and low for just the right performer for my son’s (and new daughter-in-law’s ) wedding rehearsal dinner, I’d finally found Chris. When I’d booked him, I’d thrown out a hopeful question: “Any chance you’d be willing to allow me to do a number with you at the event?”’ To be honest, I’d expected a rejection buttressed with a myriad of excuses, but that’s not what I’d gotten. Instead, Chris had responded, “Absolutely! What would you like to sing?” ❤️

I’d sent Chris a song that I’d chosen to sing for my son and his bride (i.e., Ben Platt’s “Grow As We Go”), which had not been one with which he’d been familiar. Yet, Chris had embraced it wholeheartedly with the promise, “I’m on top of it!”

Then, a week prior to the event, Chris had offered to travel from the west side of Houston to our residence in Beaumont (a one-way drive of approximately 1.5 hours) to practice the song with me. When he’d arrived with his guitar, we’d sat outside on the porch swing with an audience of three (my husband and two fur babies), singing to his well-rehearsed and well-played rendition of my chosen song.

And WOW, was he AWESOME!!

Chris has FABULOUS guitar skills, no doubt, and his voice is unquestionably made for easy listening. Still, his patient and humble (yet confident) way of being in the world is what I’d needed (but had not expected) to help me rediscover the voice within me, which had been rusty from inactivity (unless talking counts 🤗).

The night of the rehearsal dinner, Chris had arrived early and had greeted our guests with song as they’d trickled into the venue. I confess that, during our duo number, I’d been somewhat weepy (🥴), but Chris had been a supportive presence for me from beginning to end. At the end of the night, our guests had sung his praises with words like “PERFECT” and “AWESOME”.

Undoubtedly, Chris is a consummate professional with natural musical abilities and well-honed stage skills. Whereas, yes, many other musicians possess the aforementioned qualities, the combination of ability, skills, and CHARACTER is what delineates Chris from the rest.

My husband and I look forward to booking him many more times in the future! Thank you for an unforgettable experience, Chris!

Chris is absolutely a top notch professional and amazing artist. Goes above and beyond make sure everyone is having a good time. Everyone who was at my party was talking about him the next day. Will definitely use and recommend Chris to anyone and everyone. Thanks Chris for the great time and memories.

Friends were asking Chris for his business card not long after he started playing! Another friend said we needed a tip jar. His original songs stopped conversations, his popular trend songs got kids and adults dancing and his genuine personality was the perfect fit for our outdoor party . He was very aware and asked if he was too loud or not loud enough. He felt like one of the family when he left! Mark your calendar next year Chris, same party, same weekend!!

Backyard party with lots going on, but Chris set the vibe while everyone was coming and going, talking and eating, kids running around, etc. Chris went with the flow, and fit in perfectly. He listened carefully to our pre-party planning ideas and learned several new songs, based on our requests.

Chris was awesome! His set list was great. He kept our crowd of realtors singing and jamming! We truly enjoyed listening to him and would definitely invite him back to our future events! Thank you thank you!

Chris led the night at my party putting on a one man show that my guests loved. Very talented and has a great rapport with guests. We loved it! Would definitely recommend Chris!

Chris Lively provided high quality entertainment for our indoor/outdoor poolside cocktail dinner event. He has an extensive set list and was able to include a wide variety of songs, including special requests, from various genres, which was perfect for our party. He was prompt and reliable and a pleasure to work with. I would happily recommend Chris and hope to be able to engage him again.

Can't recommend Chris enough. Our group loved him and enjoyed every minute he played. He played requests and my husband was so excited for his surprise. Chris was fun and engaging with everyone. Everyone wanted his card for future events. Thanks for sharing your talent with us, Chris.

Chris is exactly what we were looking for to be part of the event! His outstanding talent, warm personality and passion for music, all added up to result in perfection. His voice is like silk and his guitar skills are over the top. Highly recommend Chris Lively!

Chris has entertained us at our family Christmas party the last two years! He is a wonderful entertainer!!! He is awesome with kids and my grandkids love singing with him!!!

Everyone absolutely loved Chris! His music and voice tied our wedding together, everyone, and I mean everyone, was talking about how amazing Chris was! We're so pleased with what he does and hope you book with him! Thank you Chris! It was a pleasure! 💕

Chris was the perfect entertainment for my girls night out party. His talent and set selection really set the mood.

He was easy to communicate with and the crowd loved him. I had a little gathering for my husband’s birthday and Chris helped make it a success.

Great job by Chris! Excellent communication in advance of our event, timely, played the right songs for our event. Will definitely hire again!

Chris was a great addition to our backyard party. Set the vibes for the night. My guests loved him and he was very accommodating to their requests. Would love call him again the next time I throw a party. Easy to communicate with and punctual.

Chris was punctual, great communicator and awesome musician. We will definitely be hiring him again.

Professional, early, good set up, friendly, great voice and playing skills. Chris brought the night together! Thank you Chris!

We hired Chris to play at my wife's birthday party and he was great! He's a super talented guitarist and singer and everyone at the party enthusiastically told us how much they enjoyed his music. On top of his great music, Chris is a total professional. He came early and set up and was ready ahead of time. His communication was excellent too as he and I texted before the event and made sure all the timing was coordinated. I highly recommend Chris for your event.

Chris came out for my husband's birthday party and put on an amazing performance. Our guests were so impressed and everyone asked where we found him! We will definitely be hiring him for any future events we have. His song list was perfect and we chatted a week before to make sure the set was a match for our guests and the birthday boy. Chris was super easy to talk to, laid back, incredible voice, personable with guests, I just can't recommend him enough!

This was our first time using this site. Best decision ever. Chris was amazing. We hired him for my husband’s birthday party. He came early to set up, he was really nice and personable. But most of all his voice is beautiful. Everyone loved him and asked where I found him. I would definitely hire him for my next party.

A versatile artist with a great vocal range, Chris Lively performs a wide variety of standards as well as original material. He is extremely professional, arriving early to set up, adapting to the crowd, and he performed well for two extended sets. He was absolutely everything I hoped he would be and I recommend him highly for your event. Excellent experience beginning to end.

I hosted an outdoor fundraiser / birthday event at my home and was thrilled to have Chris Lively perform.

Chris played a broad range of acoustic selections and pleased the crowd with music including Bruno Mars and Vance Joy as well as some great Gen X crowd pleasers. The most memorable and impactful moment was when he played his musically and lyrically compelling originals from his “Distance” (2017) and “Feather” (2014) albums, which are both available on iTunes.

Chris was warm and engaging with my guests, thorough in his pre-planning to include logistics and musical selection, and prompt and professional in his day-of-event execution.

We couldn’t have been happier with the experience and hope to work with Chris again soon!

Thank you Chris for a memorable event!

We had Chris play for our small wedding reception in a private room at a local restaurant. He was excellent! Exactly what I was looking for, he performed a variety of artists, genres and even learned a song that I had requested him to play. He was very responsive to my emails and texts. I highly reccomend Chris for your event!!

Chris is Amazing!!! Will be asking him to play for other events!
