Same Clothes - Chris Velan

[mpallesh]

Can't stop listening to this song. I'm glad I found your music!! Awesome

[ChrisVelan]

@mpallesh Thank you!

[TorontoDave100]

Chris, this is a terrific song. I first heard Same Clothes on CBC Radio 2 (Into Africa). I bookmarked the page and came back many times to enjoy your songs. CBC has taken down this page and when I emailed them to ask how I could get a copy I got no response.Is there anywhere I can purchase that recording of your songs?

I love the honesty of this song, Chris, and I am humbled and honoured that you have chosen to share it with us. I have been to Ashville, NC...and there is something about that place that has stuck with me. I'm hoping some day our paths will cross. Keep being yourself because the world is a better place that way.

[ChrisVelan]

@graniteandpine I appreciate that very much, thank you.

[FirenStrbrst]

[ChrisVelan]

[RawrgasmsAreFun]

Now I know why I haven't heard of you before this, people don't have taste in good music anymore. lol

Seriously, I love your music.

Especially, "You Owe Nothing". Your lyrics are so artistically written, and you have an amazing voice. .n_n.

This song is awesome! I saw you at the GRAC concert last year in Mechanicsburg, PA, you were unbelievable, your performance caught me completely off-guard.  No bullshit, it was my favorite performance ive ever seen. keep truckin man, your music is truly unbelievable, your one of my favorite artists of all time.

[ChrisVelan]

@xcbenner Many thanks! I'm touched. Please keep listening.

[184Films]

words cannot describe how happy I am that I have finally found you on YouTube. My whole family has ritualistic jam sessions, and your songs are among the ones that I play! You have a beautiful voice, and you're one of my favourite artists of all time!

[ChrisVelan]

I'm very humbled. Thank you! That's about the best comment I could imagine receiving.

[camicalzone]

Another great song! Chris, I've loved your music since I heard Getaway Van a few years ago. You are definitely one of my favorite artists of all time.

I hope you can do a show in Southern California soon!

[ChrisVelan]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm glad you're enjoying the song. I'm coming to SoCal to open for ALO in Hermosa (Feb 12), LA (feb 13) and Santa barbara (Feb 14th). Apart from that, I'll be back soon to do my own shows. Hope to see you out!

[guingal9]

Are you coming back to Montreal soon? That would be great! Anyway nice song loop master!

[ChrisVelan]

We're definitely working on organizing show back in MTL. I know it's long overdue!

[freda456]

Excellent! C'est le seul mot qui me vient en tête! J'ai eu la chance d'être au festival de Jazz de Montréal et voir live... Depuis ce jour j'espère juste avoir cette chance de nouveau, même en salle de concert! Lache surtout pas et on attend la suite avec impatience!!!

[ChrisVelan]

C'est bien gentille! Merci. Je l'apprecie beaucoup.

[ChrisVelan]

thanks. So nice of you to say.

chris

[craigos1983]

Saw you open for Brett Dennen 2 years ago, immediately bought your album once you got off stage, met my girl friend at that show. It was a good night lol. Solidago has been playing non stop on my iPod since I got it. Seeing you deconstruct and reconstruct your songs on stage is awe inspiring. A live album would be awesome.

[ChrisVelan]

Right on. I appreciate your reaching out to let me know. I remember that show! I like the live album idea. I've thought of it as well. I may just have to make it happen.

best,

chris

[mattdowdy215]

good song!

[ScoopsMoonwalker]

Enjoyed your show in Denver at the Walnut Room. Great music, but it was this song that stopped me in my tracks. Thanks, Chris.

[ChrisVelan]

Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it. Hope to be back there soon.

[msclawhi]

effortless is the best way possible. your fingers are magic, lache pas chris!!!!!!!!

[ChrisVelan]

Merci!

[nickvelan]

definitely my mostest favorite brudda. funny thing is you were probably wearing the same same clothes for a couple weeks when you wrote this. art imitating life.

[kiddiepool101]

[ChrisVelan]

Thanks. Glad you're coming out on the 6th. See you there.
