tORONTO rIBFEST BANDS

The Chris Ayries Band

Growing up in Ontario, singing came just as easily, and necessary, as breathing. The sheer power of her voice alone has enough “wow factor” to win over the most jaded critic , but that’s only half of the story. When it’s time for nuance and quiet intensity, Ayries is right there as well.

Her influences range from Etta James, Tina Turner, Gladys Knight to Eva Cassidy. It’s rock, it’s rootsy old school R&B and it’s most assuredly pure soul.
