64. Chris Daniels

My guest today is Grammy nominated, Colorado Music Hall of Fame inductee, Chris Daniels. Chris has absolutely done it all. As a 29 year old aspiring to do so much, I look at someone like Chris with his world of wisdom, and I can only hope to be like him when I grow up. He's toured with his band, Chris Daniels & The Kings for 37 years. He's backed up artists like Bonnie Raitt, Garth Brooks, and Sonny Landreth. He's had a record produced by Al Kooper. He's been signed to record labels overseas. The list goes on... I first met Chris during my freshman year of college at CU Denver. He was my music business professor. He was a great teacher of course, but we connected on a deeper level through a mutual appreciation of similar music. In my senior year, I asked him if I could do an independent study with him called, "How To Release A Record." He taught it to me, and gave me three credits for the course! After I graduated, Chris started a similar class for seniors that he said was created because of our independent study. How cool! In 2017, Chris and I collaborated on my full-length record, Reasons For Departure. He produced it!
