Editor's note

Chris August writes through pain and faith

A Chicago singer-songwriter whose music shifted from pop-rock to folk worship after a motorcycle accident.

For a good sense of his approach, try '7 X 70' or 'Starry Night.' They're quiet, direct, and don't hide the rough edges.

Chris August's songs feel lived-in because they come from real struggle. '7 X 70' and 'Unashamed Of You' from his 2017 album 'The Upside of Down' deal directly with anxiety and depression. He writes about faith without losing that plainspoken, human feel.

He started in the late 2000s with his debut 'No Far Away,' which included the Christian radio track 'Gave You My Heart.' After a serious motorcycle accident in 2011, he stepped back before returning with more personal material. His sound has moved from pop-rock toward folk and worship on records like 'Affirmation' and 'Seasons.'

Archive material and source history

Chris August started making music in the late 2000s with his debut album 'No Far Away.' That record included 'Gave You My Heart,' which got regular play on Christian radio. He grew up in Chicago and took early inspiration from artists like Michael W. Smith and Rich Mullins.

In 2011, he was in a motorcycle accident that caused serious injuries and led him to step back from music for a while. He later released 'The Upside of Down' in 2017, an album that dealt openly with his experiences with anxiety and depression. Songs like '7 X 70' and 'Unashamed Of You' reflect that personal, sometimes raw approach.

His sound has shifted from pop-rock toward more folk and worship elements on records like 'Affirmation' and 'Seasons.' He usually performs solo but has worked with musicians like guitarist Colin Smith and drummer Jordan Mohilowski. The music stays grounded in faith without losing its plainspoken, human feel.
