Chris eventually discovered a rickety old dusty 1969 P-Bass in his grandmother’s garage which only had 2 strings on it. Chris took it upon himself to clean it up real good so he could try to play it. Only problem was he didn’t yet know how to fix a Bass so he just learned on those 2 rickety rusted strings. His Mom eventually realized that music was his passion and surprised him by replacing the bridge so he could finally learn how to play the full Bass with 4 strings. Eventually, even that wasn’t enough and Chris picked up Piano, Sax, Drums, Harmonica, Stand Up Bass, and eventually found his true love…..The Guitar. His first guitar was a cherry red Squire with a celebrate diversity sticker on it and a rainbow strap. Yeah, Chris likes color apparently. Now he was ready to go off and learn guitar. He spent days locked away in his room staying up late playing guitar. He would have to stay up late because Blues was played at 2am and he would have to record it on cassette so he could practice. He would spend hours mimicking every note and every nuance of BB King, Albert King, Freddie King, Albert Collins, and many more. If he messed up even one note he would have to rewind the cassette and try again. After learning all of their songs note for note for 6 months he wrote his first album at the age of 15 “Shades of Blue”. Of course this was after he didn’t get a Playstation for Christmas but instead got a four track tascam cassette mixer which he greatly appreciates…..NOW. Chris went on to win the Ann Arbor Talent Show performing 2 of his songs off of the SOB album “Unforgiven” and “The Blues” which was inspired by BB King’s “A Blues Boys Tune”. He landed a gig with Ejuana “Fire” Taylor and went on the road with her and her band for a bit while honing his skills at the Tap Room jam session in Ypsilanti which is still running every Thursday to this day. Chris eventually hooked up with Thornetta Davis and was taken under her wing at the age of 18 and opened his eyes up to the rich Detroit Music scene as well as exposed him to countless Pro musicians. in 2003 Chris formed the, dare I say it one last time, “Chris Canas Hyper Dynamic Blues Revolution” which was later shortened to “The Chris Canas Blues Revolution” which shortened again to “The C2BR” and finally, finally ended with the “Chris Canas Band“.
