"Acoustic-driven rock". Soaring singer/songwriter driven music that bridges modern rock with Americana.
Boston native Chris Canty combines thought-provoking lyrics and a high-powered sound to create his signature acoustic-driven music.

Currently, Chris and the band are finishing up their third release, "A Song to Inspire" and preparing for a very busy 2008!
