Biography

Chris Talley is a native of what many call the ‘Low Country’. Raised in South East Georgia, he grew up reading stories of lost treasure, island ghosts, wild horses, unconquerable oceans, and military conquests. When asked what he wanted to become when he grew up, he answered: “Oh man…a Pirate of course! And if that didn’t work out for some unforeseeable reason…..a musician”. While most of his generation was listening to Vanilla Ice and Poison, Chris was memorizing Muddy Waters, Tom Petty and Hank Williams.

Chris is a traveling Troubadour, expeditiously performing on an itinerant podium, campaigning for the preservation of chivalry, harmony, hope, happiness, peace & love. Chris is determined to help his audience see the good in all people and share the love that they have been given.

The newest release titled “Marshland Melodies” tells vibrant stories, illustrating the historical world that Chris comes from. His smooth voice and slow drawl elicit a sound the replicates that of George Harrison, Matthew Sweet, and Paul Westerberg. The 10 song LP covers everything from infrangible love, resentful heartbreak, spiritual epiphany, delectable food, adversarial family relationships, and one rowdy dog. It is a great album to get stuck in your car CD player.
