The Chris P Trio is a dynamic ensemble that embodies the essence of classic rock while seamlessly weaving in elements of Top 40, blues, funk, and jam music. Founded by seasoned musician Chris P, the trio has quickly garnered a reputation for their electrifying performances and eclectic sound, making them a standout act in the contemporary music scene. Drawing from a rich tapestry of genres, Chris P Trio specializes in classic rock anthems and contemporary top 40 hits while infusing their sound with the soulful grooves of blues and funk. Their improvisational flair adds a unique jam element to every performance, allowing them to engage with audiences in an unforgettable way.
