Chris Timbers
Chris has been writing music and performing for most of his life. With his blues/roots sound, he fronted and wrote music for the Virginia-based band, Less Traveled. Together, they produced an album, developed a following, and toured regionally. It wasn’t long before Chris had an endorsement from Godin Guitars, opened for Agents of Good Roots, Merles Saunders, and Tim Reynolds (Dave Matthews and TR3), and decided to strike out on his own as a solo musician. Chris moved to New York, where he continued to hone his unique style and technique, became a favorite in the Brooklyn music scene, and sat as a session guitarist on several hip hop records. But when alcohol, drugs, and some bad decisions caught up with him, life took a hard turn, forcing him to reinvent himself. In the midst of tremendous loss and heartache, Chris knew that things had to change, and that’s exactly what he did.
