Christopher Lutyens writes, performs and records all of his music in his home studio in Jamestown, on Conanicut Island in Narragansett Bay. With almost thirty years in Southern New England's offshore lobster industry, he often dreamed of the day when he could write and produce his music along with his memoirs. That day arrived last July when his beautiful Ralph Stanley 44' Lobster boat caught fire, burned and sank as Chris watched helplessly from the life raft awaiting rescue.

And so a new chapter in his life began.

Pushing fifty years old but awake for nearly forty-five of them, Chris decided it was now or never. Currently in the midst of the publishing process, his autobiography is nearing completion. Filled with tales of shore side madness and mayhem intertwined with decades of high jinx on the high seas, the story of Chris's fascinating life promises to be an interesting read.

Presently, he splits his days between the written word and his lifelong passion, his music. Influenced by the great masters of the ivories, Keith, Chick, Lyle Mays and a host of others from the traditional and more modern world of jazz, the sound flows from Chris as he creates it. Playing the piano, bass, acoustic guitar and drums, Chris improvises each track until he feels it is right, the end result being a quality and feel to the music that leads one to believe they are listening to four or five guys in a band. Judge for yourself, there are no tricks here, just one man with enough soul to power the entire band. Jazzlobsterman and his Single Side Band.
