Native New Yorker, long time studio musician and session guitarist Chris Juergensen is in constant demand as a sideman, front man and clinician. He has played sold out venues as intimate as the world famous Blue Note and as large as the Long Beach Auditorium. After teaching guitar for six years at the prestigious Musicians Institute in Los Angeles along side with Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big), Scott Henderson and Joe Diorio, Chris left the states to become the Director of Education at Tokyo School of Music in Japan where he still resides. His first solo CD, "Prospects" has been critically acclaimed throughout the world and his newest release, “Big Bad Sun" paints a completely new portrait of him.
For his efforts in promoting international music education, in 1995 Chris was made an honorary citizen of New Orleans by the Mayor of the city, Marc H. Morial and more recently asked to perform on behalf of Japan at the Japanese embassy in Seoul Korea in 2004. He currently writes a monthly column for the British magazine “Music Maker” and is a guest writer for iBreathemusic.com.
Chris has worked with some of the best musicians in the business today.
