Veteran Northeast Ohio musician Chris Hatton is a multi-instrumentalist who makes copious use of the loop pedal during his solo shows, becoming a veritable orchestra with looping guitar, keyboards, drums and vocal harmonies. As a one-man bands, he performs a wide range of styles including classic rock, funk, hip hop and R&B.
This week, he’s releasing a new album with a simple title Chris Hatton, which will be available on CD and vinyl, as well as digitally on his website and bandcamp. He says it won’t be available on streaming services such as Spotify because “I want to take the middle man out of the equation, to make music that moves directly from me to you. To me, the streaming services are really starting to feel like a big, cold, faceless tech thing and I just don’t want to be a part of that.”
