Harry Chrisman

McGonigel's Mucky Duck presents Harry Chrisman.

As a songwriter, Harry Chrisman is gaining traction in music circles already, leaving many established songwriters wondering where he’s been hiding!

His songs, whether a whimsical country song, a sweet love song, or a hard-driving rocker, reflect the highly-textured melodies of the 60s and 70s blended with his own brand of Texas music grit. His guitar work is as strong as any you’ll see, and his homegrown, no-pretense vocals are reminiscent of Elvis Costello with a little Robert Earl Keen thrown in for good measure.

The debut CD, Blue Barn Burrito, features Harry’s evolving songwriting proficiency, and features legendary players on many of the tracks, including Rick Richards on drums, Lloyd Maines on pedal steel guitar, and Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle.
