Chris Bates and the Virtual Reality Band

Chris plays guitar and sings to incredibly realistic computerized backing tracks, creating a full band sound that makes the crowd want to dance. The latest equipment makes him sound like he’s got background singers and a super-tight rhythm section behind.

Chris specializes in danceable rock and oldies from the sixties through the eighties, but draws from a versatile repertoire including smooth jazz, swing and standards. He can vary the musical mood to fit almost any event, from a poolside party to a corporate dinner.
