Chris Carder is a story teller, father, musician, and an explorer. Hailing originally from Smyrna, GA and now based out of Louisville Kentucky, he's traveled the world and jammed from government palaces in Indonesia to the deserts of Africa. Most rock stars can't claim that level of commitment to any cause.

Chris Carder does have a cause. He's deeply spiritual, as any listener will immediately deduce from his joyful jams. From the highs, to his sorrowful plains drifter lows—he's singin about, and to the Lord. There seems to be many emotions on display in his John Cougar Mellencamp, Keith Green, classic sound.
