Chris Okunbor is a singer-songwriter from Australia, who covers the songs of a bygone era and writes her own contemporary roots originals.
She plays vintage music, the way it used to be, mixed in with blues and folk that echo global grassroots traditions, travelling around carrying her "Band", just like a pack pony: lap-slide , banjo, ukulele, as well as a few plain old guitars, stirring up jellyroll and jinx.
Chris tours Europe annually, and in 2016 was New South Wales Solo Blues Artist of the Year representing Sydney Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge, and the National Women in Blues Showcase in Memphis, Tennessee. Her recent blues albums feature in the Australian and UK Blues and Roots Charts , and AMRAP Charts.
In 2017 “Wailin’ & Raggin’ the Blues†was a Blues Foundation (USA) finalist for Best Self Produced CD.
