Hailing from Milwaukee, WI, the indie/folk/rock band’s music has been described as “intense, thoughtful songcraft”* with “lyrics so vivid you can practically touch them, (Chris Haise) is among the finer storytellers”**.
Adding members Mark Harrig (guitar/vox), Weston Gritt (bass), Tony Sturino (cello/vox), & Chad Burgess (drums), CHB became multiple award nominees on the steps of their first full band album "Suburban View" released in 2019.
In 2020, the singer song-writer released a solo record during the pandemic lockdown called "The Quarantine Tapes" while at the same time recording the 2021 studio release "Half Of All Of Nothing" as Haise’s exploration of navigating through the uncertainty of the modern world.
Chris Haise Band announced the release of their 4th studio album "Future, Future, Who Am I?" due out May 6th, 2022 while also adding new bassist Chris Dickerson. "Future, Future, Who Am I?" highlights the band’s contagious hook-filled melodies while keeping true to Haise’s Dylan-esque vocals. With pop undertones and a more indie rock feel than their previous releases, it spotlights their musicianship, vocal harmonies, and cello-laced compositions that will get stuck in your head for days.
2024 will bring all new music to the CHB catalog.
