The Barge, 37 Lebanon St., Hamilton is pleased and excited to announce that Chris White will be returning on Sat Feb 18th. Showtime is 8 pm and is free and open to the public.
 Chris White is a guitarist/singer/composer
originally from Hamilton, NY. He currently
lives in Brooklyn, where he teaches guitar
and performs under the stage name “Isto”.
Although he has written hundreds of songs
and plays in a large variety of different
styles, he is most well known for his
interpretations of jazz and pop standards and for his silly original songs. He performs regularly at the Roots and Ruckus Showcase in Brooklyn, where he performs songs by people whose birthday it is. It is not uncommon for him to sing in strange voices.
If you haven’t experienced one of Chris’ shows yet you’re sure to be amazed! If you have seen him before you know that this is a show you won’t want to miss.
