This Month's Featured Artist
This month we're featuring musician Chris Kolb. Chris Kolb grew up in West Chester, PA and has been playing the guitar and writing songs since he was 13, playing in a few bands in high school and college. In the decade and a half since, he’s been writing songs and playing guitar as a hobby, often singing with his wife, Nicole. It’s been over a year since he’s performed and over 5 years since he’s performed his own music. His music has a variety of influences, from the folky tunes of his father’s Simon and Garfunkel records, to the pop-punk and indie-bands throughout adolescence, to the melancholy tunes of Elliott Smith. Other creative pursuits include drawing, painting, and fine woodworking.
