Christopher Kent

Milwaukee-based folk-rock musician, Christopher Kent, has been writing, playing and sharing his music with heart and passion for 25 years. Kent’s music builds on traditional folk-rock influences defined by an oft-used finger-picking style that also brings in blues riffing, and blends country-folk and rock ‘n’ roll sounds. His voice is often described warm and gentle akin in style to James Taylor. He is primarily a guitarist and vocalist but also plays keys. Playing a variety of venues from wine bars to restaurants to breweries, Kent primarily performs in the Greater Milwaukee area, but in fall of 2022 he expanded his performance reach more broadly throughout Wisconsin and into Eastern Minnesota. Typical sets include songs from artists in the folk-rock genre such as Ben Harper, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, James Taylor, John Denver, Tom Petty among many others, a smaller mix of songs by classic blues, reggae, Irish folk and French pop artists, as well as singer-songwriter numbers.
