"I've switched styles so much I have no clue what I sound like anymore. So listen and let me know."
Chris has been playing guitar and singing for quite a long time. The adventure started as part of a Ska band in the late 90's called Richard's Nixon. A few years later he started playing acoustic guitar with Jason as part of a duo. They played together over the span of 3 years and really polished their material over that time. Chris and Jason stopped playing together in late 2005 and have since gone their separate ways.
Chris finished recording his first album entitled "Up In Smoke, Down In Flames" at Producktion Records in York, PA. He played all the instruments on every track and really took control of the record which was released in August. It is currently available at www.chrishallmusic.com under the Store tab.
He is currently working on his second album titled "A Year In The Life (black and white)" with Producktions again. This album will consist of one song per month of the past year of his life. It will be released in late 07' and will have a much more acoustic feel then his first.
