Chris Read is a jazz-comedy-folk-musical-theatre-balladeer-multi-hyphenate songwriter and performer from London.
His musical journey has taken him from being the youngest ever licensed busker on the London Underground, to writing songs for pop artists, to being half of musical-comedy-duo ‘Harry and Chris’, to writing songs for Netflix and Disney, to being back in one of his favourite places on Earth - The Bull’s Head.
This year he’s also preparing for an Edinburgh fringe run, where he’ll be performing his new musical ’The Back Line’, about a jobbing musician in London. He’ll be performing some of the songs from that, as well as music from his upcoming EP ’Teething’, being released in September by Universal.
