Beneath the Canopy

Beneath The Canopy

In more and less distant pasts, I played in several hard-rock bands as a rhythm guitarist. 
I really enjoyed it. 
Currently, I have to admit that my motivation for this activity has disappeared. I have much more fun composing and recording in my little home studio.
I’m also keen to collaborate with other artists, people who want to offer their services, or people who would like to benefit from my skills.  
Do not hesitate to get in touch.  
Some examples of my musical aesthetics: Accept, Black Swan, Scorpions, Shakra, Saxon, Bloodbound, Dokken, Battle Beast, Y&T...  
I mean: rock/hard-rock on a square base.
If you've enjoyed some songs, feel free to spread the word.
I thank you so much and I wish you a lot of fun.

Chris Drabble, based in the Northwest of England, is a rock guitarist who has over 50 years of playing experience.
With nearly 50K streams on SoundCloud in the last 12 months being a mixture of Guitar Rock and softer Ambient instrumental tracks, Chris is now ramping up his rock guitar work with his latest album ‘Foot to the Floor’, which harks back to his youth when rock guitar tracks had a catchy opening riff, and was the sort exciting music you felt you had to tap your foot to. 
His influences include Rush, Led Zeppelin, The Police, Simple Minds, Pink Floyd, Joe Satriani and Jimi Hendrix. He is currently listening to Porcupine Tree, Dream Theatre.

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
