Chris Vallillo is a Midwestern singer/songwriter and roots musician who makes the people and places of “unmetropolitan” America come to life in song. Performing on six-string and bottleneck slide guitars and harmonica, Vallillo weaves original, contemporary, and traditional songs and narratives into a compelling and entertaining portrait of the history and lifestyles of the Midwest.
Folk Wax Magazine Editor Arthur Wood said “Vallillo’s guitar playing flows like warm honey and is a true aural delight.”
In the early 2000s, Vallillo began creating one- man shows using music to explore a subject or theme. His 2008 project, Abraham Lincoln in Song, received the endorsement of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission and the CD reached #10 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Album Chart in March 2008. In 2016, his latest show and recording, Oh Freedom! Songs of the Civil Rights Movement, rose to #6 on the folk charts.
