With influences like Jeff Buckley, Feist and Chet Baker, singer/songwriter Chris Lind has developed a unique and personal sound, defined by soaring vocals and hauntingly beautiful melodies. Growing up, his father’s position as a flutist in the Philadelphia Orchestra exposed Chris to a wide variety of classical music. He spent his teenage years visiting family in Hawaii and eventually studying the Hawaiian style of guitar playing - Slack Key (Ki Ho'alu). Now he regularly performs at many of NYC’s most respected listening rooms and is preparing to record his next highly anticipated full band EP.
