Chris Baron w/ Fred Van Vactor LIVE at the Rosebud

Fans of Chris Baron tend to connect with the simple heart of the three-chord song.  Yet they are the kind of people who purposefully seek out an ever-expanding world of song arrangement that dangles genre fusion, vulnerable dynamics, inventive chords, and whimsical song sections. While the music of Chris Baron is unique you can hear the urban folk influence of Bare Naked Ladies, and Elliott Smith dripping from his heartfelt arrangements.
 
Fred Van Vactor is an entertaining local Oregon singer-songwriter whose songs vary stylistically from catchy power-pop, to rock, to modern folk, to melancholy sweet. His original material reveals plenty of: melodic wordplay, personality, charm, joy, and insightful humor.
