Chris Moyse, singer-songwriter
"Roots-thick and shadowy...guided by velvety vocals. A delicate ebb and flow from uplifting to more penetrating..” - American Songwriter
“...top shelf singer/songwriter” - Midwest Record
"Moyse offers up some surprising rhymes which separate me from my own expectations, allowing a clear window into his perspective. Warm, with a tinge of regret, his lyrics are mature and sparkling with nostalgia... His truth is all of our truths.” - Flour Sack Cape
