Singer/Songwriter Chris Cunningham is a member of the acclaimed duo, Storyhill (Prairie Home Companion, Mountain Stage, Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition winner), and a native of Bozeman.
His lyrically and emotionally driven songs, often written from self reflection and thinking about other’s lives, come from an open heart that ultimately aim to move listeners to new adventures, hope and inspiration.
Chris writes songs about family, travelers, snowplow drivers, spiritual growth, volcanoes and old flames, and the natural beauty of Montana. He’s been making and releasing albums for 25 years and recently released a new solo EP “If You Knew All Along”. His CD’s are also available at Cactus Records.
Joining Chris for this special concert at the Story Mansion are some of Bozeman’s finest musicians: Megan Makeever on flute and harmonies, Amy Leach on violin and Mason Tuttle on mandolin and upright bass.
Chris is the owner of Basecamp Recording where he produces professional recordings for singer/songwriters, bands and voice over talent from all over the US. He also performs periodically with other Montana artists Tom Catmull, Jim Averitt, and Tom Murphy and was recently invited to play on the 13th season of the award-winning Montana PBS show “11th & Grant with Eric Funk” which airs in February, 2017.
