WELCOME TO CHRIS HEIDER MUSIC
Chris Heider Bio

Singing and playing for live public audiences has been a dream of mine since I was in grade school. I’ve heard it said and have stated myself that “Things happen for a reason.” True or not, perhaps the story of my journey to become a self-employed professional guitar-vocalist will give you pause to think otherwise and invite me (a.k.a. hire me) to speak and perform at your next event, fundraiser, house concert, restaurant, winery, or wherever.

Testimonial
What Customer Saying

Chris Heider writes songs with honesty and feeling, then compliments his writing with heartfelt and soulful vocals and playing. It is always a pleasure to spend an evening listening to Chris Heider -‘Just Passing Through.

Lynn
(Perdzock) Farley, Raggedy Edge

Singer-songwriter Chris Heider evokes a freshness and honesty seldom seen in today’s music business. He has the unique ability to craft a tune that can be both fulfilling and leave you with some bits of wisdom, all at the same time!

Mike Stark
Producer, First Flight Recording Studios Dayton, OH

Chris’s vocals and guitar playing are smooth and easy to listen to, whether pure and simple strings and voice or making tasteful use of technology to back up and augment his sound. He is truly a singer-songwriter worth visiting.

Bob Farley
Raggedy Edge

I have years of experience as a session player and producer. Chris’s songs are intelligent, inspirational, musically logical, and worthwhile. His voice is unique and emotive, a proper singer in the folksy rock niche in which he writes and sings.

Randy Villars
Recording artist, Saxophonist, Pianist, Composer, Arranger, Dayton, OH
