Chris<\/span> Grant is a talented singer\u2011songwriter from Morayshire in North\u2011East Scotland, whose earthy, raspy-and-soulful voice draws comparisons to Joe Cocker and Ray LaMontagne. He began his musical journey in Glasgow\u2019s vibrant open\u2011mic scene back in 2007 and later founded a local open\u2011mic night in Morayshire\u2014sparking a love for live performance that has driven his career ever since .<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
To date, Chris<\/span> has crafted two defining albums: The Road (2018), a country\/Americana narrative that explores the bar\u2011room troubadour life, and Treading Water (2021), a richly soulful record praised for its emotional depth and blend of R&B, blues, and classic balladry. Critics welcomed Treading Water as \u201ca magnificent album\u2026 a slow\u2011burn husky cocktail of Otis Redding and Rod Stewart\u201d, lauding its dynamic storytelling and resonant tone.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Now, backed by 10 self-made albums and sustained artistic growth, Chris<\/span> is launching his most daring work yet: On The Run, an Americana crime\u2011thriller musical. With a cinematic scope, compelling characters, and his trademark soulful voice, this 11th album represents the culmination of 16 years of learning, experimenting, and honing his craft.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sound and influence:<\/b><\/div>\n
Musically I tried to blend Chris<\/span> Stapleton’s Traveller album with the story telling of Jason Isbell and the passionate performance of a live Bruce Springsteen.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Career highlights: <\/b><\/div>\n
Playing MacMoray festival recently was a huge highlight. <\/div>\n
Supporting the world class Matt Andersen will always be one of my most cherished memories.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What makes this album so unique?<\/b><\/div>
This is a true concept album from the lyric to the genre to the feel. As you listen there will be a clear crime thriller noir styled movie forming in your mind. It’ll be up to you how you feel about all of the characters. Some will make you sick, some you’ll feel sorry for and some may make you nervous.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Why is now the big moment?<\/b><\/div>
I knew back in 2009 that I needed to gain as much experience as possible making records to finally show what I really do to its very best.<\/div>
The times is here! The material dictated that I gave this nothing by my all!\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
