Chris Sanchez interview and live performance on Charlotte's 106.5 The End FM with Divakar's 90 minutes of new music

Full divakar edited interview

Chris Sanchez is an authentic and eclectic acoustic/electric Indie/Americana musician that leaves no genre unexplored. 

Chris Sanchez is a Texas songwriter and musician .His blend of Reggae, Blues, Alt. Country and basically anything roots is refreshing and fun.

 Most smaller shows are done solo and acoustic or as an acoustic trio (guitar, upright bass, congos). When the energy level needs to be a bit higher, the electric guitars come out as well as a full drum kit.

LITTLE OLD LADY

Little old lady was the color of the sky
When she got down she liked to get high
She would speak of so many wondrous things
Like the smell of a rainbow, the taste of a cloud
Look out Sunny – she’s coming for you now
Don’t drink the Rum if you know what’s good for you

Chorus-
She said “lift it up to a higher place with a smile in your eyes and a grin on your face”
Breathe in all the colors and the voices that you know
Let it all hang out for no good reason
Get some butter on your biscuit it’s just the right season for ruffling up a few feathers and opening a mind or two

Psychopathic cool with a red suitcase and a pea green hat – she showed a little lace from the bottom of a secondhand vintage gown
She was easy to remember and easy to forget like the morning sunrise or the loss of a bet
She’s been through a looking glass or two

Chorus-
She said “give that moon a big black eye – dance around the fire in a spotted bowtie”
Feel the flow of the Spanish dancer’s dress
See the promise in her eye
Let it all hang out for no good reason
Get some butter on your biscuit – it’s just the right season for ruffling up a few feathers and opening a mind or two
Interlude-
Plucking peddled flowers and chasing after fears - she emptied all the puddle of some long, lost years that never really happened but I don’t think she cares
It’s a curious notion and it might seem – it’s the thrill of the potion that hooks you in a dream
Don’t try to run as you’re carried to your crown

Chorus-
She said “lift it up to a higher place with a smile in your eyes and a grin on your face”
Breathe in all the colors and voices that you know
Let it all hang out for no good reason
Get some butter on your biscuit – it’s just the right season for ruffling up a few feathers and opening a mind or two
You just give that moon a big black eye
Dance around the fire in a spotted bowtie
Feel the flow of the Spanish dancer’s dress
Se the promise in her eye
Let it all hang out for no good reason
Get some butter on your biscuit it’s just the right season for ruffling up a few feathers and opening a mind or two………

Chris Sanchez is an island roaming, guitar slinging storyteller from Texas that has taken root in the Carolinas. 
Sanchez is a musical situation - a fusion of good time Folk/Rock, Blues, Reggae, and Roots music that connects to people and excites audiences through songs that are fun, eclectic and relatable.   Chris brings the songwriting, guitar and vocals to the table with sincerity, skill, and honesty. An accomplished blues player and balladeer, Sanchez brings you the soul with electric and slide guitar along with warm and groovy tones from his Martin night after night. Sanchez has found an ever evolving sound that borrows from every corner of the musical spectrum to create something exciting and new yet familiar.

The Sanchez sound began to form while Chris "cut his teeth" playing Blues, Rock, and Indie/Alt. Country in West Texas then later in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Austin, the Texas Hill Country and surrounding areas in venues large and small. Chris later spent three years in the Cayman Islands, soaking up stories, rhymes, and rhythm that profoundly impacted his songwriting and style. Chris' genre bending style further developed while traveling and performing from New York to Florida, Havana to California and finally home to the Carolinas.  Chris' passion for exploring and adventure come through in every performance and are heard in every song.  The characters come from very real places.  Chris has "made it his business" to see as much as possible and to experience all that life has to offer.  From his days as an off-shore fisherman to a certifiable vagabond, Chris has traveled from coast to coast and over oceans wide to gather the stories that are now the songs heard at every show.  Chris has found a musical home and a host of top notch musicians in the Carolinas that help with the heavy lifting at shows with a jumping rhythm section, tasty guitar and a sultry saxophone.  

Sanchez has shared the stage with numerous national acts such as Sister Hazel, Chelsea Bain, Ted Nugent, Styx, Survivor and REO Speedwagon and has performed at venues such as Verizon Wireless Amphitheater (Charlotte, NC), the NASCAR Coca Cola 600 Speed Street Music Festival, The Double Door Inn, the National Whitewater Center, Amos' Southend, the Visulite Theater as well as numerous festivals, concerts and clubs. 

 A large and loyal following has gathered and exciting things have been happening for Sanchez. Along with airplay on national radio at 106.5 "The End", Sanchez has been nominated for "Rock Band of the Year" (2012) as well as "Best Folk Artist" (2012) by the Charlotte Music Awards society and has been doing shows to packed houses in Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas including but not limited to Raleigh, NC, Durham, NC, Greenville, SC, Charleston, SC, Isle of Palms, and Hilton Head Island. 

Hold tight and hang loose -   Sanchez is looking forward to seeing you and your friends at a show and to playing in your town!
