Chris Ayer

Chris Ayer is a Brooklyn, NY-based singer-songwriter. He was the 2006 Lennon Award winner in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, in the Folk category, but to pigeonhole him as a folkie doesn't tell the whole story. Elements of pop, rock, country and even jazz permeate Chris Ayer’s sound. His new album "Don't Go Back To Sleep" comes out this summer, and he'll be on the road playing shows throughout 2009.

"A folk-pop sound with an upbeat tempo that could make the sun peek through the storm clouds"
— Hybrid Magazine

"Ayer’s effort has it all—tight arrangements, excellent musicality and imaginative lyrics. If you’re looking for great music, this is the place indeed."
— Performing Songwriter Magazine
