See what others are saying about Chris:

"Chris Yurchuck finds the balance that seems so elusive for the majority of songwriters: he has a contemporary flair about him but also has deeper roots in more time-tested music. While one hears the influence of acoustic-based rock bands such as Dave Matthews and the Jayhawks, sprinkles of Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits can also be felt...This CD (Dark Secret) truly sounds as good as anything that's out there. I hope we hear more from Chris Yurchuck, because we need him." - Musesmuse.com

"Often reminiscent of a time when artists were truly connected to their worlds, Yurchuck's brand of live music brings warmth and honesty to a music scene engrossed in flashy hooks and pop star dreams. His no nonsense vocals are pure and untouched by studio tricks leaving a taste in your mouth of having just experienced the real deal." - Dayne Blitz, IME Productions and Bookings

    I've played this for a number of people now and they have all been impressed.

  • Great mellow music with an edge
    author: Matthew Sample

    The CD is reminiscent of one of the best Midwestern bands around, The Bodeans. The lyrics flow well and the music puts you in a great mood. A great CD for driving or a summer BBQ!

  • This is one of the best debut albums I've heard in a long time!

    I love this CD!!! Between the heartbreaking lyrics and melody of "Another Love" to the cool vibes of "Dark Secret", this album really moves me. I listen to it all of the time and can't wait to hear what comes next from Chris.

    Dark Secret has been in my CD player since I bought it 2 months ago! Each song has such a unique sound. It's what I listen to every morning getting ready for work. Definitely a must for your CD collection!

  • Mellow out to Yurchuck!
    author: Happiness in NYC

    This is my favorite CD in the car. It puts me in a GREAT mood and keeps local pedestrians safe from my roadrage. I especially love #2 Hiding Out From You - it still gives me goosebumps and I've had the CD for months.

  • Great Lyrics, great guitar, great sounds
    author: Picky Music Fan

    This CD has not stayed in my 5-disc changer as it has been coming to work with me as well. Clearly, this is the product of an incredibel song writer. Definitely one of the best CD purchases of the last year along with John Mayer and Norah Jones.

  • Excellent song-writing, great melodies: well worth your $$

  • Tell Everyone about Yurchuck's Dark Secret!
    author: Jeff Stutzman

    A number of my friends had told me about Yurchuck's unique sound and solid lyrics, and I have to admit that buying Dark Secret has been one of my best purchases in 2003. We have a six disc changer, but we haven't moved off Dark Secret since we got it. Looking forward to the next CD!
