Chris Garneau

Artist Description

“[Garneau's] strong command of the piano and quirky operatic voice call to mind Regina  Spektor. Like her, he combines classical sensibilities with folky ones, inviting cello lines and harmonium drone into his ballads.” -Time Out New York

Chris Garneau's voice lies somewhere between liquid and matter on the scale of all that is and ever was. He is certainly a rare bird. When he's not spending his free time at the town fairs, Chris can be found at his piano, singing haunting strains and playful stanzas, both equally refreshing as amber pints of beer on humid New York summer evenings.  His music is uniquely Brooklyn in substance, but in his musical valise he carries tokens from Boston, France, and New Jersey, all of which inform his style. With his brow alternating between a doleful furrow and a mischievous arch, Garneau communicates simply and frankly about issues ranging from reverberating sorrow to the fine home cooking of Hamburger Helper.
