Chris Sheffer - Bio

“Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it”

           Maybe this is a theme….  But I do believe God has blessed me in countless ways by bringing amazing, loving people into my life.  And, who support me as a musician.  Amazingly, my wife and three kids still love me after all those loud bands, musical projects and late night gigs.  And, most recently, the path brought me to the talented musicians of Renewed.
         I grew up (okay, I still haven’t grown up) overseas in South America and Africa.  And with older siblings exposing me to music very early, listening to records ranging from the Beatles to Brazilian Samba.  As a young musician, I recorded in the Bay Area and Colorado at Russian Hill Studios, Dangerous Rhythms Studios, Sound Set Studios, and many more. And playing live, in Reggae Rock, Classic Rock, Blues and Alternative Original bands - all part of some nebulous plan.  The last several years brought me to Praise music with both adults and church youth.  
          Whether as a studio musician, songwriter, or band member, I’m grateful to have been part of some very moving music, and looking forward to more!
