Chris Annable

One guitar and one voice, but Chris Annable fills more space than that suggests. He calls it acoustic groove: percussive playing on the guitar body, finger-style parts and live looping, arranged so each song comes out his own way. Early on he can sit under the conversation, and later he'll switch to party hits for anyone who wants to dance. The list takes in his own originals, current Top 40, jazz and blues standards, classic rock and seasonal songs. He works to your run sheet and plays background music between sets. Give him level ground sheltered from the weather, and power if possible, though he has a battery option for remote sites. You can also book him as a duo with a female singer. Chris is based in Pakenham and travels up to 100 km.
