BIO

BIOGRAPHY

At a very early age, Chris Anderson was intrigued by the idea of performing on stage in front of a captive audience. He knew that he wanted to perform, but he didnt know where he would find his niche in the entertainment field. Although born into a musical family, Chris was not interested in singing publicly or learning to play a musical instrument. Like most people, he sang very well with the radio. At age 18, however, Chris became very interested in actually pursuing a career in music. After he graduated from high school Chris began singing publicly with a variety of backing tracks that ranged from Stevie Wonder to Elton John to R. Kelly. Also around this same time, Chris grandfather Norm introduced him to a genre of music he had never heard before jazz standards. Chris was not immediately captivated, but did like spending quality time with his grandpa, and since listening to this music was a favorite hobby of his grandpas..over time Chris started to enjoy these jazz standards just as much as his grandpa did. He loved the meaningful lyrics and how that big band sound was the perfect accompaniment for any song. Chris started emulating some of his grandpas favorite singers--Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole. When Chris grandpa heard him singing the standards he immediately called Chris uncle Jeff and had Jeff listen to Chris sing over the phone. Jeff, a fine clarinet player in a 3-piece local jazz standards group The Blue Notes, took enough interest in Chris singing ability that he invited Chris to be the lead singer of the group. While performing and working on his craft in retirement homes, Chris learned many songs and had the time of his life singing the songs to the people who loved them the most. In the winter of 2006 Chris went to work at Jebinos, a restaurant in his hometown of Eatonville. Jebinos is owned and operated by John and Tammi Brathholm, and is a rat pack themed restaurant complete with sound system and stage for Johns comedy act. Of course, the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. was always playing. On January 20, 2007 , Chris family came to the restaurant for dinner. When his Uncle Jeff saw the restaurant, complete with stage, lights, sound system and all the rat pack memorabilia, he immediately saw the possibilities. He was not going to leave the restaurant until he heard Chris sing one of the jazz standards Chris had learned to love. Jeff went to John and asked if Chris could sing. Oblivious to Chris singing talent and his knowledge of jazz standards, John went into the kitchen where Chris was washing dishes and told him that his family insisted on hearing him sing. Chris, embarrassed, told John that the only song he could sing on such short notice would be Frank Sinatras Fly Me To The Moon. So, red faced and nervous, Chris got on stage and the music started. He sang the song and was astounded by the reaction. The customers roared with applause and John was absolutely stunned. From that night on, Chris was no longer just a dishwasher. He became Jebinos Singing Bus Boy.Chris, now 21, has come a long way since that magical night in January. He has expanded his repertoire and worked hard at making sure his audience enjoys the songs he performs. In Chris own words, "I feel very fortunate to have had the many opportunities occur in my life these last couple of years. Its amazing to think that Im being given the chance to fulfill a dream".
