"Chris
Buhalis' Kenai Dreams is a wonder of blood and bone, spirit
and earth...Buhalis makes music simply and directly. His country folk
leanings have been tempered by and cut from the land itself; his is
above all American music in all its contradictions and rough-hewn
grace..."
-
Thom Jurek, Tunes from the Missing Channel, CID-FM Windsor,
Ontario
"Kenai
Dreams showcases on of the brightest young songwriters in music
today. Unlike so much contemporary song writing, you won't find a
single wasted word penned by Mr. Buhalis. Not to mention these songs
are graced by this poet's warm vocals and some of Michigan's finest
acoustic musicians."

Chad Williams, Music Director, WCBN-FM Ann
Arbor
"With
his warm voice Chris takes you on a journey through the hopes and
fears, the dreams and side roads of America's working class. The
title song Kenai Dreams features one of Townes Van Zandt's
last recorded appearances."

With a warm voice capable of heartbreaking depth one minute and growling intensity the next, Chris Buhalis takes you on a journey through the hopes and fears, the dreams and side roads of America's working class. From the last great bar in Alaska on "Kenai Dreams" to the din of Detroit's monstrous automobile factories on "Employee 1209", and the bedrooms and nightscape of everyday people, Chris' songs speak volumes in stark imagery. Chris' debut, Kenai Dreams, is the real deal.
