Sligh Signs With Brash Music

You watched him rock it and sock it as a finalist on American Idol Season 6, riff with Jay Leno and Little Richard on The Tonight Show, and now the spirited, powerful vocalist CHRIS SLIGH has signed a recording contract with BRASH MUSIC (Aaron Shust, Jump Little Children, Anthony David ). A genuine original with a golden voice, a style of songwriting that communicates even as it defies the commercial “rules,” and a world view that encompasses edgy humor, rebelliousness, and rock-solid faith, Sligh’s debut, “Running Back to You,” will bow nationally on May 6th.

Named as one of Entertainment Weekly’s “Best Idol Auditions Ever,” (http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20007164_20008532_20174767,00.html), Sligh auditioned for American Idol more or less on a whim. To his surprise, his performance swept him onto a fast track to the final rounds. His willingness to take chances, his ironic wit, and his startlingly powerful vocals embedded him into the popular imagination, while his distinctive blend of talent, humor, confidence, and unpredictability led to an exchange with Simon Cowell that delighted the other judges, host Ryan Seacrest, and much of America.
