   About CHRIS SELMAN

"An Al Stewart for the 21st century" - Gavin Martin (Daily Mirror)

"A new talent that seems to encapsulate the qualities of the golden era of acoustic rock" - Liverpool Echo

"A great little song, sounds like a young Cat Stevens" - Tony Snell, BBC Radio Merseyside, on new single 'In The Morning'

To visit Chris' iTunes store, please click Chris Selman

----------------------------------------------------------

Chris Selman is a singer/songwriter in the classic style of the early 70’s troubadours. The single ‘In The Morning’ combines a life affirming ‘whistle while you work’ melody that draws you into the deceptively simple lyrics that are refreshingly angst free. A gentle world weariness replaces empty rebellious posturing. There is a new dawn freshness here, a song that’s easy craft flows and weaves encouraging you to sing along, staying in the subconscious like a half remembered dream.

Even at twenty-three, Chris is a veteran of Liverpool’s open mike scene where he has built a formidable reputation and a modest dedicated following. His ‘have guitar will travel’ philosophy has taken him to similar hootenannies the breadth of the UK. He is the consummate ‘sing for your supper’ and a ‘couch for the night’ bedsit dreamer.

Chris' debut release, the 'Graffiti Dreams' EP, was released through Pip-Music in March 2009. To download the EP please click Chris Selman

Hey Chris!
How's it all going?
I see you have some upcoming shows booked! Do you have any fresh tunes? City of Sound? is back on the scene for another term - send over some tracks if you'd like to get some air-time!

Wilmslow Road, Withington, Manchester, M20
Cost: free
Acoustic
showcase hosted by Picnic Area. Featuring the amazing accappella choral
sounds of The Voice Collective - they are so good we keep having them
back! A first time visitor is Chris Selman, from Liverpool, who writes
beautiful melodic songs influenced by Ryan Adams and Bright Eyes.
Manchester’s own Freddie Dickson plays his own highly atmospheric
version of Americana. And the real deal in this genre is Risa Hall, who
grew up with The Ramones in NYC’s Forest Hills - and it shows!

If you couldn't make it down last week, we had Vinny T Spen and Stuart Todd performing and this is what you missed:
