English alt/folk singer-songwriter Chris T-T has been one of the UK’s most consistently critically praised artists for two decades, without ever bothering the charts, nor compromising his radical, psychedelic songs. In recent years he’s become a significant songwriting influence for a generation of UK artists.

Based in Brighton but restlessly mobile, Chris has released 10 solo albums to consistent acclaim and clocked up more than 2,200 shows around the world, touring with the likes of Ben Folds, Frank Turner, British Sea Power, The National, Madrugada, Bellowhead, Franz Nicolay (ex. Hold Steady), Divine Comedy, Emma Pollock (ex. Delgados), Tom Robinson, Emily Barker and many others.

Chris has also been a piano accompanist for Tom Robinson, Frank Turner and Jim Bob (Carter USM). He has performed at Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds Festivals; on the Fourth Plinth at Trafalgar Square; and in 2011 took a one-man show of A.A. Milne’s 1920s children’s poetry to Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

He has composed music on commission for The WHO, Natural History Museum and Halloween Society and he wrote the theme song to British horror film The Outer Darkness for Bloodycuts Films.

The new Chris T-T solo album 9 Green Songs (released 3rd June, 2016 on Xtra Mile Recordings) is a collection of radical songs, with a dark ecological flavour.

Chris writes for Dark Mountain, ecnmy.org, Louder Than War, New Public Thinkers and others – and for several years wrote a weekly arts column for the UK’s only Socialist daily newspaper The Morning Star. He has a popular, occasionally controversial blog.

He has spoken at TEDx, Brighton Digital Festival, Louder Than Words, Boring Conference, Great Escape Convention and many others. He has completed artist residencies at Leeds Beckett University, Brighton’s Royal Pavilion & Museums and Arts Residency Thailand.

This summer Chris is the inaugural Creative Fellow for Great Britain’s National Trust at The Workhouse in Southwell.

In his home town of Brighton, Chris hosts weekly late night folk radio show Chris T-T’s Midnight Campfire on Juice 107.2 (FM / DAB in Sussex, UK) – archived to stream worldwide via TotallyRadio.com.
