Chris Ayer LIVE at Acoustic Long Island's Winter Concert

Chris Ayer got his musical start singing along to an Elvis tape when he was 7 in his hometown of McLean, Virginia. He got his first guitar at age 18 and began writing songs that same day. Upon moving to northern California in 2000, he started sharing his songs locally, while studying philosophy and music at Stanford University. After a year out of college spent writing and playing local bar gigs in northern California, Chris decided to hit the road. He got a little room in Brooklyn, but has spent most of the past year traveling town to town, playing for whoever will listen - days spent playing on street corners, nights spent performing on the stages of music clubs and venues of all sorts. His first full-length album, This Is The Place, was recorded in Nashville and produced by Jason Gantt (The Chieftains, Brooks & Dunn, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill).
"Ayers effort has it all—tight arrangements, excellent musicality and imaginative lyrics. If youre looking for great music, this is the Place indeed." - Performing Songwriter Magazine
Clever lyrics, an innate ability to carve genius song structures He possesses one of those legendary voices intriguing folk rock that recalls James Taylor and Damien Rice - smother.net
