Reverend Chris has been a staple at the Mermaid Inn, in the historic Chestnut Hill district of Philadelphia, for about 10 years. He and the band have used the space as a testing ground for new material and enjoy the family-like atmosphere that the owner and staff have developed. Being a composer whose work celebrates and draws from a diverse selection of genres his Mermaid Inn performances are a testament to the face that a single adjective cannot describe his catalog.
