He's also done a significant amount of studio tracking work as both a guitarist and bassist. In addition to guitar, Chris also plays "most instruments with strings," and performs regularly on the oud (a fretless Middle Eastern instrument that predates the guitar by a few thousand years).
Since 2010, Chris has been heavily involved in the theater world in Central PA. Beginning at American Music Theater, he鈥檚 worked with (and continues to work with) AMT, Prima, Servant Stage, and others. Since mid-2017, Chris has been the primary guitarist at the Fulton Theatre in downtown Lancaster.
Chris is also currently a mixing/mastering engineer for Immersive Music Media Group, a post-production studio in Lancaster.
