Chris Eckman Biography
"One of America’s finest songwriters...emotional depths with an opalescent beauty." -- Americana UK
Chris Eckman is one of those songwriters with the alchemist’s touch. He’s proved it over the years as the songwriter of the Seattle rock-folk band The Walkabouts, as well as across a lauded six album solo career. His songs have been recorded by Townes Van Zandt, Steve Wynn, Willard Grant Conspiracy (and others), and his last album, the spare, haunted Where the Spirit Rests, won the prestigious German Record Critics Award (Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik) in 2021. His most recent album "The Land We Knew the Best," was UNCUT magazine's "Album of the Month" in February, 2025: "former Walkabouts leader digs deep to create a career high delving into loss, forgiveness and rebuilding a life...a remarkable album."
