For a multitude of reasons….
You will hear and see an amazingly creative, neurodivergent, original artist…
who has this intuitive ability to connect through his music and performance with audiences of any size or age…
who wants to make a difference to the well-being of others through his music.
Chris Ostler is an innovative Singer-Songwriter motivated by his observations of life, people and emotions. His voice is both powerful and haunting, and his ability to enthral an audience is both locally renowned and developing further afield. The way Chris writes is shaped by his visual imagination and particularly by a connection to colour; both of which are reinforced by his strong emotional and relational connection with beautiful melodic sounds. The talented way he plays his acoustic electric guitar and stomp box, it is as if he is connected to them and the instruments can feel and transmit this energy as he performs.
When Chris is playing with his full band, it is a truly vibrant experience giving a positive energy that radiates even further. From slow swaying to toe tapping, right through to full out moves like the ‘Oscillator’, Chris’ musicality penetrates the soul.
We truly believe he is set for wonderful things.
