The guitarist, singer and songwriter is currently flaunting his high-powered single “Moonchaser”. The track as a whole, is a true triumph. A defining testament to just how talented Chris Boss really is.
The more familiar one gets with his work, the more one realizes that Chris Boss has seemingly endless energy to pour into his creativity. On the first listen to “Moonchaser”, you’ll quickly get the feeling that there is really nothing that Chris Boss can’t do.
He is an undeniable guitar god, while his gritty, soulful vocals proudly display his singing roots. For any other artist, being at the forefront of the rock world as both a guitar shredder and a vocalist would be more than enough. Chris Boss, however, has managed to develop impressive songwriting chops too.
On a pure technical level, “Moonchaser” is a brilliantly produced record. The tones are crisp and clear, yet still display the warmth we can fairly demand from a great rock n’ roll record.
The drum tones are thick and clean, and slotted into the center of the track without being too over-bearing. The bass tones are as groovy and warm as we might want them to be. The guitars, of course, showcase Chris Boss’ unique ability to create sonic heaviness while using minimal distortion.
The lead vocals soar, as the layers of harmony fill the backdrop with resonating vibrancy. Chris Boss is at the top of his game on “Moonchaser”. Not only does he shred like no one’s business, his voice sounds incredible.

It’s teaming with killer licks, a driving rhythm and a towering melody. Furthermore, Chris Boss’ full range is on display in the track, as he moves through all the components he’s managed to master in his skillset.
