Chris Quigley is an acoustic-style singer, guitarist and songwriter who has been involved in Phoenix's local music scene for more than a decade. His many experiences include being lead guitarist for the band Big Orange Thing, an early '90's group that enjoyed local success playing such venues as Hollywood Alley, The Silver Dollar, The Sun Club and The Mason Jar. Later, Chris played with his brother Ric in his "weekend" band The Sex Fajitas and spent much of his time writing and recording in his home studio as a solo artist. Chris was also involved in various other musical projects, contributing his original instrumental recordings to "Reflective Light," an arts program on WDET in Detroit, MI., and scoring the pilot episode of "The Mel Levine Show" for WGN. For a while, Chris could be found playing in coffee houses such as Fiddler's Dream, Willow House and Borders Books & Music, supporting his two self released CDs - Roman Candles and Privilege of Youth, and later he was the lead singer/rhythm guitarist for Fuzzy Stone, an exciting Phoenix band that played througout the valley in 2003. He is currently writing and recording new material for his next solo CD, tentatively titled "God Hates Music", and also working with his good friends Brandon Trenz (On The Good Leads project) and Mike Habig (On some cool new rock and blues tunes)
