Chris Strei is a Brantford, Ontario born singer/songwriter/producer whose style has been compared with artists like Chris Stapleton and Tom Petty. Chris draws on his own life experiences for inspiration in his music with compositions influenced by country, blues, and folk. Chris's lyrics tell relatable stories from a reflective point of view towards various experiences and adversities. It would be fair to say that he isn’t the only one who experiences these challenges.Following an opportunity to open for The Trews, at The Rope Factory in December 2017, Chris has been blessed with opportunities to perform venues from Ontario to Alberta, and Nashville. Including Lethridge’s Canada Day Celebration, an opportunity to play alongside Juno-nominated folk singer-songwriter Dayna Manning, placing in the Top 25 of The Shot: Canada's Premiere Singing Competition, and most recently, a slot opening for Chris Kattan's appearance at The Rope Factory in Brantford. Through The Shot, Chris was offered a booking From Canadian Music Week VP Danya Dixon, and invited to play a Hugh's Room Live showcase from Blair Packham. Chris now organizes his own events at Brantford's premier event hall; The Rope Factory.In July 2019, Chris released his full-length album, "The Moonshine'' to a capacity audience at Riffs Music Lounge in Woodstock, Ontario. The Moonshine is a collection of 10 dynamic songs that touch on various topics and styles, from the sweet commitment of "Love You Anyhow," to the date-night glow of a dashboard light on the album's title track "Moonshine", the bittersweet goodbye of "Timbercreek", and the gritty, fan-favourite "Prison Bound Man".In March 2020, Chris's family welcomed and said goodbye to a baby girl by the name of Annabella. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Chris took that time to reflect with his family, as well as build his ChevyCat Music studio and start writing new music. His latest singles (Annabella's song and "Sunshine"), from an upcoming 2023 EP, share his personal perspective on their story.
