Chris Amsler mixes his lyrically lavish original music into a melodic melting pot of surrealistic story.
Born and raised in Santa Monica, California, Christian Devin Amsler has been a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist for over 35 years. His musical influences range from Miles Davis to the Monkees.
