Many say that when they see Chris Eichlin, what they see is what they get. Genuineness.
And the same goes for his music.
Based out of Bethlehem, PA, Chris is an Alternative Folk artist that blesses all with his eloquent fingerpicking style and thoughtful, melancholic vibes. Over his 13 years of musical experience and performance, he has built quite the resumé of diverse musicians and professionals with whom he was very fortunate to work with. Now with two albums (“Farewell, My Juvenile Sea” and “Commercial Break”), two singles (“Silent Goodbye” and “Mingle/Single”) written and released under his belt, he is already busy preparing all new releases coming soon.
Chris tells us about his journey in his own words:
Whether it was singing in the shower or singing in the car, I always felt at home with music. At the age of six, I started taking guitar lessons, which started the whole journey. Everything seemed to just come so naturally to me, later morphing into relief for my stress and anxiety. Overall, my childhood was filled with learning, experimenting with many instruments, performing at various music venues, and creating connections.
After years of playing guitar and bass between bands, I met these three other guys. Not long after, we started writing our own songs and playing all across the Lehigh Valley, especially at our high school. This later turned into my band White Noise, who have been like brothers to me and represent an enormous chapter in my life. Throughout these times, I began to write my own songs, some I would pitch to the band and some more personal. Becoming more engrossed in my solo writing and more willing to perform, I began releasing this solo material. Writing, recording, and producing all the instruments myself with feedback from new mentors over this past three years has proven myself capable. There’s no doubt that music has changed my life. I certainly cherish the experiences I have had through my tenure as a young artist. Growing in the State College scene, I found myself being able to fit in well among the other student musicians and organizations on campus.
