Chris Ayer is a Los Angeles-based artist with a rawness of performance and poetic lyricism that combine to make something at once urgent and timeless. With sharp pop sensibility, and a strong nod to the singer-songwriter tradition, Chris defies genres, incorporating Pop, Folk, Soul, and Americana elements seamlessly into his music. Born in California, and raised in Virginia, Chris has built a reputation for uplifting and emotive solo shows in New York's lower east side, as well as inspiring collaborations with musician friends also coming up in the New York music scene - especially his close friend and longtime tour mate Matt Simons ("Catch & Release", "With You"). Chris has played over 1000 shows throughout America and Europe the past few years, and self-released his most recent album The Noise, which he coproduced with Grammy-winning producer Will Hensley. "On The Blvd", Chris's new single, is out now on Sony Music -- he will be supporting Matt Simons on his European tour this spring, and touring behind his new material throughout 2016. https://www.facebook.com/chrisayer/ <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Chris+Ayer">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
