Holla.

My name is Chris Marshall and I am a performing artist from Portland, Oregon. It's my pleasure to introduce myself and my music to you.

I can unapologetically say that I ache for a time that I never lived, but whose values and conventions I am compelled to adopt. Artists such as Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson sound just as fresh to me today as anything presently out there, and it would be impossible for me not to let that fact influence the music I write and perform.

I grew up in an area outside of Portland, the second son of a minister. My love for music has always kept it at the forefront of my pursuits, from playing and singing in church to forming bands and writing songs on my own. At this stage, I’m working hard and hoping to achieve the kind of success that all musicians dream about (at least the kind that would allow me to hire someone else to write my bio!).
