47,000 streams on Pandora or 4 kids listening on a picnic blanket in a parking lot? Music is hard to measure but My Friend Christopher keeps sending his songs out into the world with love and hope, starting in his own neighbourhood in Hamilton, Canada and reaching across oceans and airwaves to children worldwide. 2023 has seen the release of the singles All the Small Things, Holey Socks, and The Christmas We Need. His album Tuba Blues (2022) is still receiving airplay on digital radio from North America to the UK to Australia and has garnered a nomination for Children's Album of the Year by the Canadian Folk Music Awards.
"My Friend Christopher's music is what independent family music is all about - it's catchy, quirky and fun. It's also totally relatable. Christopher's humorous observations about family life are set to joyously delightful tunes, making his music a true pleasure to listen to."

" [Not] necessarily what you’d expect for an album for children. It’s an eclectic blend of blues, jazz, pop and more inspired by the likes of Tom Waits, Leon Redbone [and] Randy Newman."
