love, love lost, social responsibility or having fun at a party - when
Chris sings, people listen.  And when they listen, they believe him.

In 2010, Chris is playing a special series of shows at the Broad
Street Cafe.  Each month, he'll play a 45-50 minute set of music from
an artist, band, or genre that's been influential or inspirational to
his musical development.  He'll follow that up with a 45-50 minute set
of his own material.  To find out more, visit http://discover.chrisbryantmu=

=95 10P The Debonzo Brothers (indie)
This Raleigh band brings it's brand of indie rock to Durham,
introducint a smooth, yet retro sound that is reminicent of The
Psychedelic Furs - (with their song "Boom Box" and then switches gears
with a sound more along the lines of more contemporary Indie with the
Song "21" - one thing is a constant, quality sound with the vocals and
ocassional driving guitar riffs. It's great, catchy and certainly
worth a listen.
