Chris Read

Chris Read is a jazz-comedy-folk-musical-theatre-balladeer-multi-hyphenate songwriter and performer from London whose musical journey has taken him from being the youngest ever licensed busker on the London Underground, to writing songs for pop artists, to being half of musical-comedy-duo ‘Harry and Chris’, to writing songs for Netflix and Disney, to being back in one of his favourite places on Earth – a field in Kettering.

This year he’ll be coming in hot from an Edinburgh fringe run, where he’s been performing his new musical ’The Back Line’, about a jobbing musician in London. He’ll be playing songs from that show, songs from ‘Harry and Chris’ (he’s memorised Harry’s lines as a cost-saving scheme), and songs from his upcoming EP ‘Teething’, which is being released in September by Universal. Come say hi!
