Wednesday, March 12 - Chris Dallman, Singer/Songwriter
Orchestra Hall, Bachman Fine Arts Center, 8 p.m.
Singer/Songwriter Christopher Dallman currently resides in West Hollywood, Calif. Dallman has toured theaters, clubs, and colleges nationwide as well as overseas, sharing the stage with such notable artists as Amos Lee, Jonathan Rice, Ellis Paul, Gregory Douglass, Ollabelle, Julia Darling, Rachael Sage, and Casey Stratton. You can also check out Christopher in a featured role in the film "DORIAN BLUES" now available on DVD nationwide.

"Dallman is a fine tunesmith and his guitar-playing pulls no punches either. His distinct vocal style has touches of the lightness of a James Taylor or a David Gray. He is an assured performer who should find a ready audience for his intelligent and lyrical output around Europe."
-Jackie Hayden, Hotpress Magazine, Ireland

"Christopher Dallman's debut CD is an entertainingly literary pilgrimage into the inner sanctum of the songwriter's psyche. If good songwriting confronts listeners with truth about themselves, their emotions, and their world from a fresh point of view, then the songs on Race The Light represent songwriting at its best."
- Ken Mowery, Indie-Music.com
