The 2004 release of 'Race the Light' introduces a distinct new voice to the landscape of popular music. Meet singer / songwriter Christopher Dallman, one the best kept secrets of the NYC club scene. Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Dallman attended a coat-and-tie private school in the suburbs, where he was alternately the star of the school play and the shy guy sleeping in the back of the classroom. At 16, Christopher tiptoed onto Milwaukee's acoustic scene, refining his broken-hearted rants at smoky coffee-house open mics before settling into a regular Friday night at the trendy Sunset Boulevard. Without amplification, he performed for a frequently packed room. After high school, Christopher headed east to Boston, where he was the vocal half of the acoustic duo, 'The Rory Calhoun Project.' The group played the legendary Club Passim in Harvard Square and was featured on Boston's WERS-FM before parting ways in 1998. With 'Race the Light,' the debut album out now on Treasure Records, Christopher Dallman rounds out the angst of his youth with a fuller emotional pallette and makes good on the promise of years spent living, writing, and performing in New York City, where he frequented such esteemed venues as the Living Room, The Bitter End, and Makor. He has since extensively toured colleges, clubs, and theaters in the US and Ireland and had his music featured on MTV's "The Real World." With distinctly lyrical songs and a voice that is unmistakeable, Dallman brings his live audience on a journey that has been exquisitely captured and sonically elevated on the 11 songs that comprise 'Race the Light.' Backstage Magazine hails his "inspired showmanship" and "hard-driving songs." Robbie Krevolin of Jambase.com says this of Dallman's craftsmanship: "Lyrics of deep introspection enveloped in a passionate acoustic melody are leading Christopher Dallman to the forefront of a new generation of songwriters."
