Sophomore Album, Living In The Now, Now Available

(Nashville, Tenn. – April 22, 2014) – Singer-songwriter Chris Chickering is garnering attention for his new music venture, Music for Positive Change™. The theme of the project is to utilize empowering music to bring people together, lift their spirits and create a brighter, more unified world.

Music for Positive Change has been a life-long project for Chickering, who founded talent agency Guru Authority and spent many years representing various public speakers in the fields of health, wealth, relationships and spirituality. Chickering channels the knowledge he gained through working with these personal development experts when writing his music.

“Music is a powerful agent for breaking down barriers and getting us to recognize our common humanity,” said Chickering “and that’s what we’re doing with Music for Positive Change; leveraging that power to uplift people and bring us all together.”

Chickering’s sophomore album, Living In The Now, co-written and produced by Grammy-nominated and Emmy award-winning songwriter Greg Barnhill, is a record of transformative lyrics that speak to timeless, universal truths about the human condition. The 14-track album is a collection of original tunes focusing on connection, love, acceptance, gratitude and peace, with the mission of connecting and empowering people through music. Living In The Now is available on iTunes and other major digital retailers.

The album has already received recognition by winning “Popular Choice Award” at The Best Santa Fe Albums of 2013, presented by Hutton Broadcasting, as well as being ranked one of the Top 20 Albums of the Year by Transitions Radio Magazine. Additionally, seven of Chickering’s tracks are featured on Broadjam.com’s Top 10 Songs – Best Indie Music: New Mexico, with his song “Getting Past The Past” taking the No. 1 spot. “Getting Past The Past” is also ranked No. 8 on Broadjam.com’s Top 10 Songs – Best Indie Music: Rock – Alternative.

Thus far, Chickering and Barnhill have written over 49 tracks for the venture. Chickering is currently touring with his band and writing and recording new music for his upcoming Music for Positive Change shows and forthcoming album release. In support of Music for Positive Change, Chris is currently offering three free song downloads via his website www.ChrisChickering.com. To download your free tracks click here.

Chickering has also released a music video for his track, “The Crazy Crazy Ones.” The song is his tribute to those who have pushed the human race forward. The video stars 53 individuals, whom Chickering finds to be the most inspiring people of all time. He was led to write and produce “The Crazy Crazy Ones” after watching the ultra-inspiring, Emmy award-winning television commercial “Crazy Ones,” which was part of Apple Inc.’s “Think Different” ad campaign. The “Think Different” commercial was created in 1997 in response to Steve Jobs’ request for an ad campaign that reflected the life philosophy he promoted at Apple.
