Chef Chris’ musical journey began in Detroit back in the early nineties; his talent has taken him many places and has allowed him to jam with some great musicians. His music is BLUES delivered with a raw soul power that is searing, intense and sinister. He is a large-and-in-charge front man who’s strong and rough singing coupled with his raw thick and nasty harp work help create this larger than life performer. 
 

In 2002 Chef Chris and his band (The Nairobi Trio) won the prestigious International Blues Challenge in Memphis TN., and were named “The Best Unsigned Blues Band in the World.” Other accolades include winning the Detroit Battle of the Blues Bands, Named by Billboard magazine & Discmakers as a top 10 independent artist. (2003) Nominated for several Detroit Music Awards.

 

The MUSIC has been described as swampy, eerie, and quirky it's unique and fresh, yet retains the feel of yesteryears best. The Chefs genius is story telling many of his originals are based on true life events like “You’re going to jail and your car is too” (the title says it all) or “Crawfish Gumbo” a swampy cajun groove about the Herculean task of first preparing, and later eating Gumbo with his women!

 

This is a band with chops to spare and a suitcase full clever originals and covers they take songs like Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" and the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil" and turn them into something entirely new and infinitely cool, hip and funky. If their version of Junior Wells' "Early In The Morning" doesn't give you the Blues, you've never loved and lost.

 

Chef Chris’ motto is “specializing in carefully contrived spontaneity”. That should give you a good feel for what he’s all about. Doesn’t take himself too seriously, but definitely plays some serious heavy blues. This is some good stuff. Have ‘em do his thing live in your room and witness the full effect!
