About Chris

​

















Christopher Fisher is a musician, composer and entertainer based in Chicago land Illinois. In a one-man band style, he plays blues, jazz, rock, R&B and gospel music. He is  classically trained in piano, however he truly loves playing guitar.    This love of guitar started at the age of 12 while taking lessons at Allegro Music Academy.   As a 4-year presidential scholar at Columbia College Chicago, Christopher received a BA in Music Composition and continued to hone his musical performance, playing and directing skills. He has worked with international musicians and performed at the Taste of Chicago, Chicago Blues and Jazz festivals.
 
Upon his graduation from college, Chris met the legendary jazz pianist, Ghalib Ghallab and performed regularly at Sullivan’s Steakhouse in Naperville, Illinois. Shortly thereafter Chris moved to Las Vegas, Nevada to become the lead guitarist of Ghalib’s Vegas Knight trio where they performed regularly at Fuso Jazz Club. Chris also traveled  with Ghalib across the United States performing at various jazz clubs until his untimely passing in June 2018.

Christopher continues performing locally in the Chicago land  area, primarily in the southwest suburbs.    He regularly performs at the Shanahan’s Food & Spirits in Woodridge, Illinois at their Thursday Professional Jams. Chris also often headlines there  with his one man show on Friday and Saturday nights, where is fondly known as Chris “Prince” Fisher.
 
Chris thoroughly enjoys playing and composing music.     And even though he is best known as a one-man band, he gets a thrill from performing with others. Christopher believes in giving back. For 10 years he has provided the dinner music and entertainment for Rhea of Hope Foundation’s annual fundraising gala.
