Who is Chris Gheran?

Chris Gheran is a singer/songwriter known for his contribution of Hard Folk to original music in Alberta, Canada. Hard Folk, coined by Gheran, is a flavour of Traditional Folk that deals with the common modern man's issues of the 21st century delivered in an edgy passionate manner with various rhyme schemes.

With the backup of two ensembles, Gheran released his first album "Monster" in 2008 with David Alcock at Sundae Sound Studios and mastered by Dave Horrocks with Infinite Wave. Gheran wanted to produce a more personal album. In 2010, he co-produced "Coup d'etat" a collection of songs dedicated to soldiers around the world. His third album, "Calgary", about and influenced by Gheran's hometown, was funded by Rawlco Radio and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and recorded with Danny Patton at Airwaves Recording Studios in Calgary and mastered by Andy Krehm with Silverbirch Productions. In 2012, Gheran again received an AFA grant to record "Matterhorn".
