Bio

Chris Bucheit (pronounced book-ITE) has been turning heads any where he has shown up with his guitar. Chris has performed regionally and nationally within several genres of music and has found his own style, blending Jazz, Rock. and Pop into memorable compositions. His ability on guitar is matched by his vocal and songwriting skills. He is most comfortable with the labels, "Jazz and Eclectic Pop."

Chris's debut CD "Naive Work Songs" showcased his extraordinary ability to weave memorable melodies through instrumental guitar. Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine says; "Chris Bucheit brings us a delightful collection of pop and blues oriented pieces performed on 6 and 12-string guitars. No noodly fingerpicking here, just straight up guitar picking rendered with taste, sensitivity, and control."

"Hand to Mouth" was released in the summer of 1999 and showcases his strong vocal and songwriting talent while melding his fingerstyle technique throughout the cd. Chris's vocal and lyrical style has been compared to Sting, & Neil Finn/Crowded House. "These are great artists that have not only inspired my songwriting but my instrumental music as well. Probably the common denominator is melody. Great melody is what I admire in all the music I love." This CD was produced with friend Jason Knox and received Acoustic Guitar Magazine's "Homegrown CD Award".

In 2001 Chris joined forces with local musicians to record "Hard Disk Letters". This CD marks the continued development of Chris's hybrid style, and the blending of Jazz, Rock and Pop. Standout tunes from this CD include "Mother Nature" and "Liar's Club".

"Beautiful Myth" was released in the summer of 2003 and probably is Chris's most cohesive work so far. A bold production that presents both instrumental and vocal songs. This recording also highlights the talents of Josh Shively on drums and Neil Dreger on electric and upright bass.

In the Fall of 2004 Chris took a break from performing with his group to continue studying guitar and to record, "Solo Guitar" This is his fifth independently produced recording and features fresh arrangements of Jazz standards and Pop gems.

Chris's influences Include Pat Metheny, Earl Klugh, Leo Kottke, Peter Frampton, Bela Fleck, Django Reinhardt, Sting, Elvis Costello, and Neil Finn.
