Chris Cook Music

Don’t miss Chris’s return to Charlotte on November 10th at The Saloon located in the NC Music Factory complex. Many of you have been requesting for him to come home and play for you and he delivered. Hope to see you there to support him and the band on stage at 9:00pm

Chris Cook and The Chris Cook Band…John Wadsworth (bass), Daniel Flynn (drums) and Jason Atkins (keys)… are all looking forward to a FUN night and can’t wait to see you all there!!

North Carolina native Chris Cook definitely has a little something for everyone in his approach to music. I have not heard an album in a while where the artist experiements with so many different styles, yet makes them all work as a cohesive project.

Full review by Chuck Dauphin here…

This weary voiced troubadour from North Carolina, by viewpoint is from the South, and his music encompasses a fair portion of America. He isn’t afraid to mix things up and garble what you think should be happening, muddling your mindset. Blowing away expectations is what they call it, throwing banjos into the mix when the dominant instrument is a fuzzed up rock guitar, Heartless Road. This disc has rudiments of Rock, Blues, Country, Bluegrass, Folk, and R&B well integrated into his songs; upon occasion they will pretty closely fit into one genre except for that small iota that makes you pause, and think. You know what they say about thinking? It can cause clarity and result in intelligence.

Chris Cook – Remembering
By Juan Pablo Dominguez
Produced by Dakoit Pictures
Producer: Vinay Chowdhry
Director of Photography: Zachary Ludescher
Executive Producer: Elisabeth Morkaut
Music & Lyrics by Chris Cook – BMI

The distinctive, soulful vocals of North Carolina songwriter Chris Cook and a talent for killer hooks combine with his innate storyteller’s ability on “Remembering”, a beautifully crafted collection of observations, recollections and ruminations -and a songwriting masterclass. Supported by some top-notch accompanists and drawing on country, blues, soul and old-school r’n'b, Cook proves to be a huge talent.

“The very competently played slide guitar clearly reminiscent of Little Feat mastermind Lowell George.” -Michael Stepien

“Chris Cook’s vocals are confident, sensitive and determined. Often reminding me of Paul Young at the time of his best recordings, coupled with a dash of Southern timbre.” -Markus Kerren
