Chris Flowers is a pianist, guitarist, vocalist, and live looping artist whose performances set the tone for luxury weddings, corporate galas, and private celebrations across Florida. Based in Central Florida, he delivers the rare ability to provide ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music — even across split-venue spaces — with seamless flow and boutique presentation.
Raised in Key West, Chris began performing at five. He studied classical piano under Juilliard professor Yehuda Guttman, while apprenticing in boogie-woogie and blues under Keys legend Barry Cuda. This dual training forged a style that blends concert-hall technique with soulful authenticity.
His career has been validated by collaborations with some of music’s most revered names: Delta Blues Hall of Famer Big Jack Johnson (who honored Chris in the song “Key West”), Grammy-winning Pinetop Perkins (Muddy Waters’s pianist), Rock & Roll Hall of Fame saxophonist Clarence Clemons (Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band), blues harmonica great James Cotton, Walter Trout, and Grammy-winning zydeco artist Chubby Carrier. These co-signs underline Chris’s pedigree and give clients confidence in the caliber of his work.
For weddings, Chris provides:
• Ceremony Music — piano, guitar, or vocals for processional, recessional, and custom requests
• Cocktail Hour Entertainment — stylish sets that let guests mingle
• Reception Music — high-energy live looping for full-band dance vibes
• Split-Venue Coverage — garden + ballroom, terrace + reception hall transitions
For corporate clients, Chris offers background jazz, spotlight performances, or dynamic party closers — always with professional polish, volume-aware mixing, and smooth coordination.
With over 25 years of stage experience, a premium looping rig, and a résumé stamped by Grammy and Hall of Fame collaborators, Chris Flowers is the trusted choice for premium live music in Florida.
