ABOUT ME

Hey! I’m Chris Underdal, a North Carolina native who’s lived in Jacksonville, Florida for about 6 years. I moved to Jacksonville to attend the University of North Florida, and got my bachelor's degree in Music Performance with a focus on music technology, and studied under the great James Hogan. Since then I’ve worked as a band leader, musical director, studio engineer, front of house sound engineer, and basically any other gig you can think of in this industry. I perform around the southeast with my band Alchematic, as well as Forever Johnny Cash: A Musical Tribute. On nights and weekends, I perform around Jacksonville or just support the incredible scene that we’re lucky to have. I’m looking forward to the next chapter of this musical adventure!
