Chris Kiehne

Bio:

"Above all things to mention about Kiehne is his songwriting, which can be described as a moment where everything comes together effortlessly as if cut by nature itself, the result of which is awesome in the true sense of the word. Add this to the choir of friends singing perfectly matched harmonies on top of Kiehne’s cutting, emotive vocals and the result might very well give you the chills. Chris Kiehne is a name to pay close attention to." -- JezebelMusic.com
