These first two songs, "I'm to Blame" (Rivers),and "Trail of Broken Hearts" (Rivers and Clay Blaker), have got such life and energy to them they will definitely capture the heart of all those who hear them. Both songs made the "Top 10" in European Country Music Charts in 2009. The full CD Ships to European Radio in May of 2010.

Based out of Dallas, Texas, Rivers has been touring non-stop with his band, Rivers and his band Highway 69, now CHRIS RIVERS BAND, for the past twelve years performing in excess of 250 dates per year while building a loyal, grassroots following in countless clubs, honky tonks, fairs and festivals throughout Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.

In 2003, Rivers won "songwriter of the year" for "She Draws Them Together", which he co-wrote with Johnny Huffman. Chris Rivers also won "Dallas Band of the Year" in the fall of 2003. The regional hit single "Trail of Broken Hearts" helped move Chris Rivers CD over 1,000 units, and also was a gratis feature on a CDX compilation which featured hit singles by George Strait, Brooks and Dunn, Reba, and Tim McGraw, and was nationally distributed to radio, retail, and key buyers and venues. The single received rave reviews and opened many doors for Chris Rivers, particularly in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. In 1996, Chris Rivers was named "Artist of the Year" which followed up his 1995 garnering as "Entertainer of the Year" at the Terry Awards.

"I started singing in church back in Louisiana when I was 6 years old, and began singing professionally at age 8 in musicals and weddings. But even though I had some great vocal scholarships in college and was classically trained in opera at LSU and UTA, I still continued to sing in clubs - I just love to sing live for an audience." "It's an amazing feeling to look out into an audience and see the crowd singing the words of your songs with you, what a great blessing." .. .. ..
