Bio
The follow up record to the critically acclaimed ‘Suitcase Funeral’, Chris Cannon’s new album ‘Model Citizen’, blends urban lyricism with rock, blues, doo-wop and R+B to create a sound which has been described as a “new form of the blues” and has people labeling him as “the voice of the down-trodden”. Musically and lyrically, the songs take listeners on a ride through rainy back alleys (“Calamity”), a pub of drunken criminals (“Life of Crime”), a 1970’s R+B station (“Back in the Strangeness”) and personal confession (“Model Citizen”).
