Chris Canas

While mastering the cornet in the Farmington music program, he joined the jazz Band led by David Drake.  He quickly fell in love with the guitar and the blues sounds it could make.  Chris enrolled in the Ann Arbor School of Performing Arts.  Not needing a guitar player, he was enrolled as a cornet player and refined his performance and improvisation skills.  Being that his first love was blues guitar, he practiced almost night and day.  Chris has played with the Ann Arbor School of The Performing Arts, and numerous venues in and around the Detroit - Ann Arbor area with various artists. The Chris Canas Blues Revolution has played to standing room only crowds at The Attic, Fifth Avenue and T.C.'s Speakeasy.   He also "jams" with other musicians at the Tap Room Annex, Nancy Whiskey's and anywhere he can.  He was given the honor to open for Oscar Brown Jr., and also play with Thornetta Davis.  Although trained in traditional jazz, Chris enjoys the soul stirrings of the "Blues" and loves to write lyrics and music that inspire.
