Born and raised in Northeastern PA, Chris Rattie began playing music initially as a drummer, learning his craft on Friday and Saturday nights in the hard nosed, coal region pubs scattered throughout once vibrant towns. His teens and early 20’s were spent playing alongside his father and older brother, traveling with other regional acts, culminating with a stint drumming for Vince Welnick of The Tubes and The Grateful Dead. In the early 2000’s, Chris transitioned to writing and joined The Rustlanders, as a drummer and contributing songwriter. After stints in other bands, Chris was eager to break from his role of sideman, and began focusing on songwriting and putting his own band together. After helping to establish a small, independent recording studio, he released the well-received All These Things in late 2013. Chris and his band released their follow up album, Porch this past September. Watch the video for "My Mountain" below and for more information visit HERE.
