The Chris Anderson Group Blues, Rock, Soul and R&B! That’s what the Chris Anderson Group does best, and it shows! Its members include: Chris Anderson (vocals and guitar), Mike Casper (bass and vocals) and Rich Smith (drums and vocals). The three have been playing together for the past eight years. All of their experience has helped them make up their minds to “just keep it simple,” with influences ranging from the late greats Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Stevie Ray Vaughan to the legends of their own time B.B. King, Buddy Guy and Al Green.
