, Istvan Medgyesi opens -
Music runs deep in Chris Stills’ gene pool. While his father, Stephen Stills is celebrated for his work with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby Stills Nash & Young, his mother Veronique Sanson is a pop legend in France.
Growing up listening to Buffalo Springfield, CSN, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and the Police, Chris drew influence from both parents (especially his father's folk-rock) to create his own blend of '60s-inspired rock, folk, and blues on 100 Year Thing. Other influences came from Chris' experience playing over the years with acts like The Jayhawks and Ryan Adams.
Stills' eponymous sophomore effort drew equally from his French and American heritages, and for the first time he sang in both English and French on the record. Check him out live tonight at The Winchester! Local singer/songwriter Istvan "Steve-O" Medgyesi opens the show. 9pm. $10.00.
