If you’ve either listened to, or experienced live performances by Midwest area bands including Stillwater, Waterloo, Magnolia Summer, Rough Shop and Cave States, you’ve heard music by Chris Grabau. Chris has composed songs and provided guitar work and vocals for all of those groups and his band Cave States is now in its tenth year of recording and performing. There’s also a long list of bands that he’s shared the stage with and also lent his musical talents to in the studio. He’s appeared with bands at several well known Midwest music festivals and also in Austin at South by Southwest. Chris has performed over the years with the likes of Chuck Prophet, Alejandro Escovedo, Robyn Hitchcock, Buddy Guy, Matthew Sweet, Jeff Tweedy…and even St. Louis legend Chuck Berry. That’s just a fraction of the artists and bands that have recognized the talents of the prolific Chris Grabau. Chris took time out of a very busy schedule to talk with me in the Frets studio. Thanks for tuning in.
