About

Chriso has been performing at weddings, corporate gigs and private parties for well over a decade, as a soloist and part of small to large bands; as such, he has sufficient experience to know that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to clients' entertainment needs. However, the three musicians featured in the his Trio have most bases covered between them. 

 

Chriso performs regularly as a solo guitar/vocalist, with the wonderful point of difference that he is a truly amazing saxophonist. As a soloist he switches between guitar & vocals and playing sax / singing over pre-recorded backings. He has an impressively wide-ranging repertoire from jazz & swing to Top 40 and classic hits. Of course, backings aren't anything like as good as actual musicians… but they get the job done when space or budget is limited. 

 

His Duo lineup adds a bassist/guitarist and backing vocalist. The duo essentially has two unique lineups available: Saxophone & Guitar, where they specialise in classy renditions of popular tunes (with the option of sticking to jazz standards if that's your thing); or guitar/vocals and bass/vocals, opening up all the usual guitar/vocal repertoire with the added benefit of bass & harmonies. 

 

The Trio adds a drummer & percussion – and, like the duo, is essentially two bands in one. The drummer plays cajon (hand percussion) for the quieter sets where Chris and bassist stick to guitar and sax; for a bigger, more typical covers band sound, they go to vocals, guitar, bass and drums; this is the lineup for performing dance sets to crowds large or small. 

 

Chriso, a brilliant performer in his own right, deliberately hand-picked his musicians for the trio years ago in the knowledge that they’re the best in the biz at what they do and, like Chriso, they’re also a delight to work with! Chriso & the lads can help provide a variety of superb entertainment options to any crowd, whatever their tastes.

All went really well at our awards dinner last week.

He is a consummate professional and a high calibre performer.

Our awards dinner was a business event with an older crowd and he ‘read the room’ well, playing an appropriate play list.

He was happy to use the ‘cue songs’ we had provided and fitted in happily with our plan for the evening.

Thanks for all your assistance.

Cheers

Thanks
Kim
