BIOGRAPHY

CHRIS HIATT's musical road has taken him to many places. These days it's taking him down some pretty bluesy streets. Though Stevie Ray Vaughan IS one of Chris Hiatt's main musical influences, one also hears the influences of Jimi Hendrix, Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits), Johnny Marr (of the Smiths), the Beatles, R.E.M., and scores of other guitarists whose records lurk in the back of Hiatt's collection.  The music, is best described by a Portland, Oregon critic as 'Blues-based-British-influenced-Pop'.

In 2005, Hiatt released his fourth CD (self titled). The two-disc set contains 19 songs fans and critics alike, are calling Hiatt's best work. The package was preceeded by
'THE BALLAD OF TEXAS FLOYD', the bluesy 2002 follow-up to Hiatt's 1999 release, 'CATHARIS'.

The last outing is appealing to fans of Hiatt's brand of Rockin' Blues.
