Chris Garneau (born November 5, 1982) is an American singer-songwriter and musician. Since releasing his debut album, Music for Tourists (2006), Garneau has toured throughout the United States, Canada, Brazil, Europe, and Asia.
He has released four more full-length studio albums, El Radio (2009), Winter Games (2013), Yours (2018), and The Kind (2021) as well as two EPs, C-Sides (2007) and Out of Love (2023).
Garneau cites Jeff Buckley, Nina Simone, Nico, and Chan Marshall as influences.[1] The New Yorker has referred to Garneau's music as "fanciful and ornate compositions haunted with melancholia and a dreamlike innocence; his falsetto voice often dances over staccato piano notes accompanied by sorrowful violin and pastoral cello parts."[2]
He currently resides in New York's Hudson Valley.[3]
