Bio:
Chances are, if you’ve been to a college campus or a wedding reception in the southeast during the last few years, you’ve either seen a Chris Winward Band performance or heard about one from somebody who has. Lately, Chris and his band have been burning down the highways, and have quickly developed a strong grassroots following since breaking into the music scene in 2005. From Jason Aldean to Journey and from Zac Brown to Cross Canadian Ragweed, the Chris Winward Band’s live performances are energy filled with songs about living the life of a modern day troubadour.

Thank you so, so much for your and Chris Winward Band’s performance at Vanderbilt University Dance Marathon 2013. Our fundraising event for the kids at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt was a HUGE success– with your help, we raised $130,384.13! The crowd loved Chris Winward Band’s performance; you guys were a huge hit. Thank you again for your generosity and for sharing your talent! We could not have had such a successful event “for the kids” without your support. We really appreciate your time and energy.
Amazing!!
Reviewer: Betsy Borin ~Texas
Chris Winward was AMAZING!!! From start to finish Chris was easy to get a hold of and extremely accepting of all my request. I felt comfortable and confident that the event would be fabulous by just speaking with him. When the day came I was caught off guard at just how perfect everything was. The crowd absolutely loved Chris and the band and they really allowed us to get involved! He kept us dancing, laughing and having fun the entire evening. I would recommend the Chris Winward Band for any event and can not WAIT to have him join us again for another round.
Thank you Chris, you made our night perfect!
Absolutely astonishing!
Reviewer: Britney and Shawn Thompson ~ Mobile, AL
The Chris Winward Band is absolutely astonishing. In no way would our wedding have ever been the same if they had not played. From day one of booking, Chris was amazing to work with and very accommodating with all our wishes. Although their song list consisted of a wide variety of great tunes, they took the time to learn certain songs for us that they had never played. The band was also incredible with getting the crowd involved and everyone dancing. Since our wedding, the Chris Winward Band is all anyone can talk about. They are beyond talented and it truly was an honor and privilege to have them play on our special day.
Great show!

The band played at our fraternity house saturday night of our last big spring party, Luau. It was an excellent show and I was really impressed. They have a great song selection. They played a wide variety of country and rock and are very interactive with the crowd and very nice to work with. I had a lot of compliments from a lot of my friends about how much they liked the band and a lot of comments from the girls too about Chris. Overall a great show and I highly recommend these guys.
