Chris Smallwood fell in love with music as a young kid, but didn’t fall onto a piano bench until high school, when he broke his leg. Just two years later, he was invited to Kentucky’s prestigious Governor’s School for the Arts program. In 2008, Smallwood received a bachelor of music from Belmont University, and in 2010 earned his master of music from the University of Louisville. He has toured internationally with Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles for over eight years, and loves sharing his passion for The Beatles’ music with fans all over the world. Smallwood currently serves as adjunct music faculty at Belmont University, and owns Mockingbird Musicians—a Nashville contracting service for live music and entertainment. He was appointed Music Director/Performer for the Eat Your Science tour, Chef Alton Brown’s live show. Smallwood released his first piano pop record, Out in the Open, which is available on iTunes.
