    ABOUT:
    We all have times we feel lost and can’t see the path before us. Chris Chickering is a singer-songwriter/producer whose songs shine a light on that path through messages of hope, healing and empowerment. Since 2012 he has recorded six studio albums: Shine (2012), Living in the Now (2013), The Resurrection of Me (2014), The Better Side (2015), Regeneration (2015), and The Hero’s Journey (fall, 2017).

    Fueled by a desire to empower himself and others, Chris has always found music to be a refuge for guidance and inspiration, especially during his most challenging times. Growing up in San Francisco, Chris was influenced by artists like Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Train and The Rolling Stones, and moved by the humanitarian efforts of singer-songwriter Harry Chapin, to create his own unique message-driven music.

    PERSONAL STATEMENT:
    Music is my oldest friend, the one I could always count on to soothe my spirit and deliver guidance, especially during the hard times.

    As a kid, I remember listening intently to the lyrics of great singer-songwriters like Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Jim Croce and Harry Chapin, and to bands like The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Doors and The Beatles, feeling peace and calm.

    As a young man, trying to find my way in the world, I gravitated toward personal-growth books, programs and seminars to help answer the question,“Why am I here?”

    BIO CONTINUED:
    Great music starts with great songs. In the fall of 2012 Chris Chickering and three time Emmy-winning, Grammy-nominated songwriter Greg Barnhill (“Walkaway Joe,” “House of Love”), discovered their shared passion for lifting people’s spirits through music. Since then they have co-written over one hundred songs and joined forces on five studio albums.

    “MY MISSION IS TO UNITE AND HEAL HEARTS THROUGH MUSIC.”

What's Holding You?
© 2009. Words & Music by Chris Chickering, Ron Cohen and Greg Barnhill.
All rights reserved

Free your mind
Let it go and
Let it cruise
To the other side
Where the dawn of another day is new

Bring your crazy
Because you and I are headed to
Where the angels fly
And trouble won't find me and you

Sometimes it takes a while to get it right
Sometimes that golden road shines too bright

So take a chance, break on through
Live beyond what's holding you
The past is all we have to lose
Break on through what's holding you

Can we look outside
of our paper rules?
And question why
Because there's more than one way and one truth

It'll be alright
Any way you wanna move
And the sun will rise
On any given path you choose

Sometimes our deepest fears
Are the hardest ones to fight
Breakin' down and lookin' in
Might save your life

So take a chance, break on through
Live beyond what's holding you
The past is all we have to lose
Break on through what's holding you

So take a chance, break on through
Live beyond what's holding you
The past is all we have to lose
Break on through what's holding you

Gotta take that chance
And break on through
Take that chance
Nothing and no one's holding you
