Chris Webbe has been performing and touring both as a soloist and with his band “Sweaty Palms” since 1982. In the early days working mostly the hard rock and boogie blues circuits in Australia, The “Sweaties” released 5 albums and built a strong reputation as a kick arse take no prisoners show.
In the last 15 years Chris has worked on his own solo material which has been mostly country rock and blues oriented. Producing his own material he also makes albums for other artists as well in his own studio, Celestial Productions, located on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia.
The album CRAB (Country Rhythm And Blues) draws on many a yarn from his days on the road and features not only some of the “A” list players on the Sunshine Coast but also John Beland (Flying Burrito Bros, Ricky Nelson, Linda Ronstadt) the B bender telecaster magician who he met, while working on projects in Chris’ studio.
Later in 2010 Chris will release an album called “The Celestial Project” which is a completely different musical direction to the "CRAB" album but one which he approaches with the same dedication and integrity.
