âItâs a talent that screams and wakes me up at night,â says Chris Gheran. His deeply personal, passionate, and all original content ranges from social comment, through visceral expression of life, to light-hearted catchy music and lyrics. He defines his music as HARD Folk.

"Monster is an engaging and immediate album that somehow manages to reinvent itself with every deliberately crafted track." FFWD
