Bio & Discography
Chris Wallin Bio
With his unique gift for finding the extraordinary in ordinary life, Chris Wallin has established himself as one of Nashville's most sought-after songwriters.
For the past several years, Wallin has topped the charts with classics-in-the-making for the industry's biggest stars: “Love Me If You Can” by Toby Keith, "Don't Blink" by Kenny Chesney, “I’m Tryin’” by Trace Adkins, “Something To Be Proud Of” and “Speed” by Montgomery Gentry and "People Loving People" by Garth Brooks .
Raised in the small town in East Tennessee Wallin was influenced by the likes of Jim Croce, James Taylor and Merle Haggard, as well as his own musical family - especially his mother, a singer herself. She recorded and performed in Nashville when Chris was only 7 years old, and the experience made an indelible impression on Chris.
He began writing songs at age 12 and, perhaps inevitably, moved to Music City several years later, making the dues-paying rounds of writers nights and songwriting contests. He caught a break when his songs caught the ear of a small publishing company called King Lizard Music.
Since then Wallin has worked hard to achieve his place on the “A List” of Nashville songwriters, and doesn't take his status for granted: Chris says “Back then I used to buy 50 or so McDonald's 29 cent hamburgers a week and freeze them solid. I could eat all week on $15 … They weren’t bad, except the last few get a little crusty from freezer burn.”
Artists who have cut Chris’s songs include Lorrie Morgan, Garth Brooks, Aaron Lewis, Montgomery Gentry, Sammy Kershaw, Trace Adkins, Anthony Smith, Jeffrey Steele, Confederate Railroad, Neal McCoy, Brian Mccomas, Brad Paisley, Joe Diffie, Diamond Rio, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith and many more. Chris is no stranger to great songwriting.

Ah yes, I remember hearing you sing this song. Excellent.
Thanks!!
You are awesome, Chris!
Thanks man!
Good stuff Chris...But you knew that. Keep it up, man.
I heard this song at KWSWF and you sang the first bar at the NJ PAC when my buddy threw the request on a napin.... you segued into "Don't Blink"...... Such a great song...... What tuning is your guitar in???
Man I miss playing those shows!! Yeah I play a lot in drop D! My guitar has a mechanical tuning bar on the E string that flips it back and forth from standard to drop D tuning
@@GreatSongs I first heard you at KWSWF 10 years ago. Loved your songwriting (Love "The Good Drug" is another) My ex girlfriend once emailed you when i was in the ICU if you could write me a note and you did. I just wanted to say thank you for gifting all of us with your talent, but meeting you and your wife Camille in KW was a great time. You're a good man. Thanks for creating great memories for me and when this is over- come back to NYC for a show!
@@GT-qw7zh oh man ! I remember that! I would so love to do another NY show!
@@GreatSongs Just keep writing.... we're out here listening! :)
