Chris Haddox

Chris Haddox has played so many instruments, hiked & paddled so many hills & rivers, and worked in so many fields that it's hard to wrap your mind around it. And even though Chris wrote his first song in 2nd grade and played an astounding variety of instruments all through school and beyond, this past year, at 62, is the first time he's recorded his songs for the world. Chris has degrees in animal science, recreation & parks, community development, has led the local Habitat for Humanity, and has taught 14 years as a professor of Sustainable Development at West Virginia University. His songs have deep roots and country echoes, and the music will strum your heart. Chris Haddox hails from from Morgantown, West Virginia.
