There are a lot of solo performers out there. At one end of the scale are the enthusiastic amateurs; at the other end of the scale there's Chris Atkinson.
With his versatile vocals, great guitar playing and sensational saxophone, there are few performers who can match Chris for the sheer range of music he can provide and the range of settings he applies to.
Quiet jazz, easy listening guitar & vocals, swing-era crooning, rock & pop, all the dance classics & pub anthems; all are featured in Chris's amazingly diverse repertoire. Chris has performed solo for black-tie charity galas in front of 400+ guests, many large- and small-scale corporate events, Christmas parties, birthday & engagement parties, and dozens of weddings. Anything from quiet background ambience to full-throttle dance - absolutely whatever is required.
