Chris McCune’s latest recorded works titled “Originals Live From the Heart of the Blue Ridge“ was written, arranged, published and released by the singer-songwriter himself. The response to his body of work and his seventeen handmade tunes has been a positive one. The CD was recorded with the intention of giving you the sound that you hear when Chris is playing in the room. No fancy effects for this guy.

Now when it comes to Chris’ pickin’ style, you’ll see his own special effects as his fingers skate across any stringed instrument. It is hard to fit him in any certain  genre with his unique way of cross picking and his different tunesmithing, he fits into many. If you had to select a slot for his music you could fit him under the categories of Americana or Alternate Country, for starters. He is without a doubt, a Folk Troubadour. In his music, you will recognize the influences of Jim Croce, Norman Blake, Tony Rice and Steve Earle; just to name a few.

Grandpa, Chris at 3ish & Dad


Around 1983, he began doing the cover songs of singer/songwriters Neil Young, Arlo Guthrie, Dan Fogelburg, et al. A stint with the Renaissance Fairs kept him in touch with his Irish heritage. Cutting out in his own direction, he began his own songwriting in ‘86. He put together a duo and then a trio as he wrote dozens of tunes and his music evolved. Chris wore a number of different hats, as he does today and served as the manager, booking agent, publicist, etc. Currently, you will find Chris travelling back and forth from Perdido Key and his place in Frank Brown Songwriter’s Fest or to the Space Coast of Florida. Often he is headed  to the Blue Ridge in Western NC with musical visits to surrounding  areas and where you can enjoy his playing  in the mountains from where a great deal of his music is rooted.
