The Grand Rapids Press says, “Chris Andrus is one of the most promising singer-songwriters in West Michigan today”. At MHM we couldn’t agree more. Chris’ latest release “The Glass Man” has won him much praise from music industry critics and fans alike. This former frontman for the band Bless You Boys has released five other studio albums of his own and has toured throughout the Midwest, Pennsylvania, New York and Texas. Since 2007, Andrus has been using his talents and sharing his knowledge as a producer at MHM. Chris plays several instruments and shines as a vocalist. Equally at home working with many styles from hard rock to acoustic balladry, Chris is gifted as a teacher during the studio process and enjoys helping his clients reach their goals. When you meet Chris, ask him about his obsession with Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster or the JFK Assasination.
