Mississippi Blues Guitarist and Vocalist Chris Gill is a musician
who believes in bringing a wide variety of tones to his listeners.
From acoustic and resonator slide to dirty P90 grit, and all kinds of
Blues in between! Lately the "smokey" tones that his cigar box
guitar brings to the mix has added a nice spice to his slow blues
and funky Hill Country grooves.
About 25 years ago, Chris really got into the Delta and Bentonia
style Blues from sitting on Jack Owens' porch listening and
learning from Jack and Bud Spiers. " Drinking Hawgmouth Gin
and watching those two Blues Kats get down changed my life! I
couldn't believe what I was experiencing. I became friends with
them and they would gladly show me those Bentonia licks. I still
spend time hanging out and jamming with Jimmy "Duck" Holmes
at the Blue Front Cafe. He also learned from Jack Owens. Those
times with Jack and Bud really moved my heart to the blues and
rearranged my molecules!"remembers Chris.
Gill's original songs are a mix of Juke Joint Boogie
and Piedmont style finger picking. He has
played all types of festivals over the last 10
years. Chris was also an International
Blues Challenge finalist. What he brings to the party
depends on the Gig. Chris enjoys feeling
and giving the energy that live music
creates.
"Hey, we're here to have a good time,
feel it and take it home w'cha! That what
we love about the Blues Experience!
And, I'm here to help!" - Chris Gill
