Chris Kingsley

Ladies and gentlemen, it is our extraordinary privilege tonight to welcome a true poet of the American songscape - Mr. Chris Kingsley. Born in the heartland and forged by the raw emotional landscapes of folk and Americana, Kingsley has spent more than half a century (62 years) crafting songs that are less compositions and more profound narratives of human experience. His lyrics weave intricate stories of love, loss, hope, and resilience that have quietly revolutionized contemporary songwriting.

From small coffee house venues to Hollywood concert stages, Chris has remained fiercely authentic, allowing each carefully chosen word to resonate with heartfelt intimacy. Today, he brings to Vernal, Utah not just music, but living, breathing poetry - songs that don't just tell stories, but reveal the very soul of modern American life. "When I'm gone, write upon my stone for all to see, 'here lies the body of a songwriting fool.'" -Chris Kingsley
