"You just gotta do what you're made to do, no matter what obstacles are in your way. Somebody somewhere needs you to believe in your dreams."
Chris Blanton is believing in his dreams to write, perform, and record songs that affect people to move beyond themselves. Beyond narcissism. “We can’t let our self-love become self-ish. We gotta spread that love around. Not keep it in. It doesn’t belong to just us. We gotta invest that compassion. Take risks. Go out on some limbs. Sure some will break, but that’s when we step back, forgive, and learn how to do it better next time.”
He and Laura are committed to helping others experience their musical dreams. They teach piano, guitar, voice, bass, drums, mandolin, and harmonica lessons to students of all ages in the greater Athens, GA area. Visit the Blanton School of Music website for information about the Private and Group Music Instruction they offer.
You can also hear Chris' songs in full at his IndieHeaven webpage.
