Chris Deacon was born in a small town in southern Idaho, just outside of Boise. At a young age, his family relocated to California, where at 9 years old, his parents finally gave in, and got him his first guitar, and some lessons.
Before he was of age to even be at the venues, he found himself strumming a guitar at popular country music venues around Southern California, before relocating to Arizona, and playing in several different types of local bands. Bumped into country music Matt Farris, and has been rocking stages with Matt ever since!
Born and raised in South Texas, music has always been a big part of his life. He started playing guitar at the age of 7, and around 10 years old he was playing drums and bass in the local bars and honky tonks in his dad's country band. By the time high school rolled around he was playing many venues with several local bands all around Texas.
After starting a family and relocating to Arizona, he played with a few local bands before landing the role of bass guitarist for Matt Farris. He is now really enjoying life and being out on the road.
