Shows This Weekend 5/31/22-6/5/22 

This week is a big one for shows. I have nothing for Monday Memorial Day.

Tuesday May 31st I will be performing for a private corporate event for Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP at the Old Dominicks Distillery. I have always wanted to perform at this amazing venue. The bar/ entertainment area is on the roof and has both indoor and outdoor areas. I am very excited about this gig. They hired me directly through my site here so that means the person that booked me didn’t just stumble across my online presence.

Thursday June 2 I will be back at the Mesquite Chophouse in Southaven. I will be starting this show a 6 and it will last till they close which is anytime between 9 and 10 pm.

Friday through Sunday I am back on Beale at the Rum Boogie Cafe. All of the shows are in the afternoon and I love playing these time slots. The schedule is.
Friday June 3 12:30-3:30
Saturday June 4 12:30-3:30
Sunday June 5 12:00-3:00

Been A While 

I cannot believe it has been this long since I last posted to the blog. Wow!!! I hope everyone is doing well. There has been so much happening in this world of mine. Just getting over three weeks of laryngitis. That was a living hell.

I am now streaming with a service called Reach.me. It is a new service for musicians created by the Happs team. Reach.me allows me to stream to Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit and more. I am looking forward to watching it grow. Very excited to be a part of the service.

I also have a new texting community. I am using the service Community to host it. You can join simply by texting “Hello” to 901.519.2654 . You can read more on what it is all about here.

Thank each an every one of you for your support.

Christmas Song Released 

Merry Christmas All!!!!

I hope this entry finds everyone doing well in these crazy times.

I just released a Christmas Song. Two of my favorites “Silent Night / Little Drummer Boy”.

“Silent Night” was the very first Christmas song that I learned to play on an instrument. In fact it is the very first song period that I learned to play on an instrument. It was the first song in a little songbook that came with an organ that was given to me when I was a little boy.

“Little Drummer Boy” is my favorite Christmas song. I love the whole story behind it. I have nothing but my art to give. To my surprise this song is not yet in public domain so I had to pay for the licensing of it in order to release it.

What is really cool about this recording is the fact that the first verse of silent night is song by my daughter and son. Also on the release is a trumpet part performed by my daughters best friend.

It was a really fun project and I learned a lot in the process. Everything was recorded in my home studio mixed and produced by yours truly. Hey I even picked up the bass for this one.

Thank all of you for your support. Please listen, like, share and ad to your playlists.

AyCorp Media Video shoot for Theron Woods The backline 

I am traveling today to Malden, MO to film and interview with Theron Woods on his show The Back Line produced by Aycorp Media.

We will be discussing gear, influences, best practices and how I and other musicians are surviving the pandemic and the cancelation of show.

Theron is a phenomenal singer songwriter in his own right. He is from MO but has spent some time in Nashville and Memphis.

I am looking forward to the drive and looking forward to spending some time with friends and a fellow musician at Aycorp Media Studios.



What is new with TeamChrisGales 

Hello #TeamChrisGales. It has been a while since posting to this blog. I have been taking some time to refocus and get things moving in a positive direction. Hoping to achieve many of my goals in the near future and create new ones to obtain the next level. Going to up my content creation game, my physical fitness game and of course my music.

I have created a new podcast called Chris Gales GHouse (Rated CG). You can find it wherever your favorite place to listen to podcasts or you can go to Anchor.fm/ChrisGalesMusic and take a listen. I plan on using this podcast to share ideas of motivation, music tips and tricks, answer fan’s questions or whatever I may feel like discussing. Don’t worry. There will be no discussion of politics. Drop by and check it out.

I have been accepted as an Amazon Influencer!!!! I am really excited about this. This gives me the opportunity to share with you items that I use and some I would like to use, with you. A portion of any purchase you make goes to helping me create more for you. You can visit my store at http://Amazon.com/shop/ChrisGalesMusic .

Wow! Wow! Wow! 

So many great things are goin on!!!!!

As you know my performance schedule has changed. I am onstage at Jerry Lawler’s Hall of Fame Bar and Grille on Beale Street now Wednesday through Sunday from 12-4. By having Mondays and Tuesdays off I am freed up to do a little more creating. I am in the process of honing my recording and writing skills.

Keep your eyes and ears open on Periscope for a few new ideas to better connect and entertain my viewers and attract new ones.  I am planning on trying to do at least one late night / early morning scope for #TeamChrisGales #NightCrew .  These are those people who for whatever reason can only watch replays.  There are a few who religiously watch the replays and I would like to give them an opportunity to interact with me.  These scopes will be happening sometime between 12 a.m. and 4 a.m.

Once again if you haven’t visited BandsInTown and tracked me, please do so.  This will help me see, on a map, where my shows are desired.  It will help me plan a tour and bring my music to you.

Thank all of you again so much for your continued support.  Take care of yourselves and take care of each other.
