Catch Of The Week: Chris Moreno
Meet: Chris Moreno From Northboro, now living in Nashville
It’s been a whirlwind year since we last had Chris in studio and featured here. With a solid year of performances all over the country, and the success of his music on streaming platforms, Moreno packed up his bags and made the full time commitment to Nashville.
Chris picked up the guitar at age 11, and says, “Ever since I was a kid music has been the thing that I connected with most in life. Writing and performing is very therapeutic for me and I’ve always been thankful to have it as an outlet.”
His unique rock-tinged-country-pop blender concoction is a quenching a thirst fans are drinking up. Chris’s music is steeped in muddy waters… drawing from 90s rock to modern country and singer/songwriters. His rasp speaks volumes of late nights, heart aches and roads traveled. His lyrics are easily relateable and his passion obvious. Armed with all these right ingredients, and the right place to market them now, Chris Moreno sure is set up for bigger and better roads ahead.
