CHRIS TALLEY
http://christalleymusic.com/
chris talley is a native of what many call the ‘low country’. raised in south east georgia, he grew up reading stories of lost treasure, island ghosts, wild horses, unconquerable oceans, and military conquests. when asked what he wanted to become when he grew up, he answered: “oh man…a pirate of course! and if that didn’t work out for some unforeseeable reason…..a musician”. while most of his generation was listening to vanilla ice and poison, chris was memorizing muddy waters, tom petty and hank williams. chris will be playing from 4 - 5:30pm.
