Thinknorth Distribution Artist of the Week – CHRIS NEWMAN After spending the last few years in St. Catherines, Chris Newman returned to his roots, moving back to his hometown of Sudbury, Ontario. Newman started playing guitar at 13, playing lead for bands in the Sudbury punk scene. Newman moved to more of the mainstream musical scene at the age of 19 as lead guitarist for the cover band “Soakin’ Wet” with well-known Sudbury singer-songwriter Angie Nussey. With Nussey’s inspiration and help, he began to focus more on his songwriting and the improvement of his vocal skills. This initiative culminated in the release of his first album “Beauty and Suspect” in 2004. Newman’s music has been described as sweet, heartbreaking and romantic, it is however, his edgy and metaphorical lyrical style that makes this 26 year old from Northern Ontario a stand-out performer. While he finishes a B.A. in History, Newman can be found at Sudbury’s own The Townehouse Tavern once a month as well as playing regular shows at Coyotes. Newman is honored to have shared the stage with many talented local musicians and hopes to continue contributing to the Sudbury music community for many years to come. If you would like to check him out “Beauty and Suspect” is available at ThinkNorth Distribution.
