Chris Morris is a folk singer based in Prince Edward County.
A casually charismatic performer with a penchant for tall tales and a near exhaustive repertoire of songs to charm audiences of all temperaments, musical stalwart Chris Morris has carved out a reputation as a popular, in-demand singer/songwriter/musician on festival stages, pubs and clubs throughout Eastern Ontario.
Known for invoking an atmosphere of unbridled fun, storytelling moxy and musical dexterity to any stage, he identifies his delivery and style under the broadly inclusive Folk umbrella.
