Best known as the lead singer for the Grammy nominated band and multi-platinum recording artist the Spin Doctors, Chris Barron has already had the kind of musical career most artists could only dream of. It was in the midst of this success that Chris Barron was confronted with an enormous roadblock. After waking up one morning having lost his voice, Chris Barron was diagnosed with a paralyzed vocal chord. Specialists gave Chris a fifty percent chance of ever speaking in a normal voice again. After a regimen of everything from acupuncture to prescription steroids and intensive vocal training, Chris Barron is fully recovered and singing better than ever, charming audiences all over again as a solo artist with his sincerity and vocal style that has made his voice recognizable to millions all over the world.
Currently, Chris Barron announces the release of his second solo-album, Pancho and the Kid. Although not a complete departure from his previous work, fans and new audiences will be more than surprised with the depth and diversity of his new album. From the Americana-roots driven inflections of "Louisiana Holiday," to the brooding, yet uplifting orchestral arrangements of "Can't Kick the Habit," Pancho and the Kid is a robust collection of timeless songs that truly speak to a wide array of music listeners.
