2 - Singer-songwriter from Massachusetts - Lynn Massachusetts, aka; Lynn, Lynn: the City of Sin, you never come out the way you went in! Home of General Electric, Marshmallow Fluff , after hours boozin' and just about as much trouble anyone might want to find North of Boston. It's a tough ass town that breeds a certain kind of wise ass. Grow up in Lynn and you'd better have a sense of humor, call it a sixth survival sense, hell, mention you're from Lynn and people don't know whether to laugh or run. Welcome to the hometown of Chris Keating...
Growing up on a diet of GE Lightbulbs, Larry Bird and bathtub gin, Chris set out to put his glorious hometown on the musical map. After drumming in several Jam Band groups including the North Shore's infamous "Pull Out", Chris decided to completely reinvent the way one is supposed to play a guitar. Part Les Claypool, part Kaki King, throw in a little Dave Matthews and a whole lotta Lynn attitude and you've got what Chris likes to call, "Lynn Acoustic: Better than you can fucking do". Combine this with an outrageous sense of humor where nothing is off limits and you've got a funky insane sound and style that had to be seen and heard to be believed.
With his arms swingin', his thumb slapping and his left hand whipping up and down the neck so fast you'll be dizzy from watching, Chris puts on a show that will leave you dazed and confused. Top all this off with an untamed wit and fearless attitude, audiences are raptured waiting to hear what he will play, do or say next. Follow the trail of busted guitars, swollen thumbs and mindblowing jams to a stage near you and be sure to check out Chris Keating but keep in mind that if you don't... He's from Lynn and maybe he'll tell his neighbors!
