Growing up in Port Macquarie NSW, singer – songwriter Chris Rose has always been blessed with ample helpings of beach and bush to inspire his music. With a love for surfing and bodyboarding, if he’s not making music, you’ll find him in the water at Lighthouse Beach.
Described as having a songwriting ability ‘beyond his years’, Chris signed his first major label record deal in 2012 at the age of 19 and released his debut single ‘We Are’ in 2013.
Chris has very diverse musical influences from a range of different genres and artists. Think Bryan Adams, Eagles, Don Henley, Elvis, Roy Orbison, Keith Urban, George Michael, Bruno Mars, Andy Grammer, Fleetwood Mac and more. He loves to take his favourite parts from various genres – such as Pop, Soul, Country, Blues, and Rock – and blend them to create his own unique sound.
In 2019, his self-written and promoted single ‘Someone Like You’ was added to the Hit Network’s rotation Australia wide. August 2020 saw ‘Keep Me Believing’ used by Channel 7 as the soundtrack for a nationally-run three week advertising campaign for Home and Away. Building on these achievements Chris followed up with a twist on his sound, turning heads in the country scene with three strong single releases in late 2021 and 2022, with ‘Made For Loving You’, ‘Hometown’ and ‘Things We Shouldn’t Do’ which hit #1 on the iTunes Country chart and #16 across all genres.
We are very excited to have Chris performing at the Hotel – this is one performance you do not want to miss
