Chris Garneau

Chris Garneau was born in Athens, Georgia in 1980. His mother's opera records and his father's folk and rock collection gave him an early mix of influences that would surface in his own work.

His debut album 'Music for Tourists' came out in 2006, with songs like 'Baby's Romance' and 'We're All Friends Here' showing the kind of raw, emotionally direct writing that would become his calling card. He followed it with 'The Expatriate' in 2009, 'The Order of Time' in 2013, and 'A Way to Say Goodbye' in 2018.

Garneau's songs often feel like quiet conversations in dim rooms. Tracks like 'Things She Said' and 'Between The Bars' have that intimate, slightly haunted quality his listeners recognize. He's worked with musicians like Sam Kassirer on piano and Greg Saunier on drums, but the voice at the center has always been unmistakably his own.
