Description

Please allow me to introduce The Karate Cowboy Guitar Wizard Extraordinaire!
This act has a cohesive and continuous flow from start to finish. The Karate Cowboy is mysterious and intriguing figure that provides a familiar yet unique take on jazz standards with a world music and western flare. There's something for everyone in this act; from a charming style of vocals to an exhilarating mix of guitar styles. The versatility and sheer talent of this act bridges West with East and Crooners with Cowboys.

Every once in a great while I see someone who catches me by surprise and I am rewarded with the joyous unexpected thrill as mediocrity yields to excellence! This is always my experience when I watch Chris DeVore! While so many guitarists labor to pierce the elusive ether with their playing skills, Chris does it effortlessly. He’s the most prolific guitarist since Wes Mongomery!Flawless guitar mastery combined with tasteful repertoire and honey smooth vocals adds up to delightful entertainment! Catch him when you can - joy shared is doubled!
