Chris Riffle's brand of heartfelt folk is a product-and a tale-of two coasts. There's no mistaking the pastoral, spacious sound of his roots-the picturesque coastal towns of Washington state, where while still in college Riffle began making waves on local radio stations, and landed support gigs for such indie mainstays as Death Cab for Cutie.

And yet it's the other side of the country, on New York's famously gritty Lower East Side, where Chris has found a second home, becoming a mainstay performer at the venerable Living Room, and Rockwood Music Hall collaborating with members of The Mars Volta and Antony and the Johnsons. Chris has shared the stage with Patti Smith, Blood Orange, Mothxr, Jesse Malin & Joseph Arthur. Chris' albums have been in rotation at over 150 radio stations & featured on Sirius XM.

Chris just returned from an extensive North American tour where he joined up with Heather Nova and will be heading to Germany this fall to continue promoting his new album.
