Chris
Guitar and Vocals

Chris Saub has been in and out of the Omaha music scene for more than a decade. In the last two years, showing his prolific songwriting nature, Saub has released a staggering four albums. In addition to his recordings Saub has been busy maintaining a performance schedule playing four nights a week for the last two years. A staple to the local music scene Saub hopes his latest release Aero Regalla- a vibrant pop-rock album filled with feel good music, will open new doors and expand his market to a desired regional or national platform.

Saub, born in Philadelphia, PA, found his rearing years in the Midwest. His family moved to Omaha when he was 8 years old. After graduating from the University of Nebraska at Omaha with a Bachelors degree in Pre-Law/Political Science Saub immersed himself in the local music scene with being involved with four different groups at the same time: an original blues/rock band where he played bass, a hip-hop group where he programmed all the music and played live guitar, an original group pop-alternative group with a more spiritual emphasis he fronted and wrote for, and another original Power-pop group called Someday Mission that would a decade later become the Chris Saub Band, then Trio, then merely the artist himself, Chris Saub.

Saub took a two year break from music and went on a soul searching “walk-about” to Texas. Saub believes this period of time allowed him to find his true self, his path and shed a majority of his boyhood tendencies that were holding him back from explorering music, life and the world we live in.

Upon his return Saub grabbed former Someday Mission band mates and began playing the local scene again. At the start of 2004 Saub made a very difficult decision to let go his friend and current lead vocalist to begin fronting the band himself. The Chris Saub band was born. 6 months later they found themselves in the studio working on their first album, Holding on to Venus.

After fronting bands carrying his name full-time for the last four years in the Omaha area, Chris is enjoying his greatest success to date with a new management company, new line up, new songs, and a new style.

From Power-Pop to Rock and Roll, Americana Rhythm and Blues to Jazz, Solo Acoustic or Mellow Piano, Chris has shown fans and followers his virtuosity as a prolific songwriter.

Releasing 6 full length CD’s in just over three years, regional finalist on CBS’s Rockstar INXS, three time nominee to The Omaha Entertainment Awards, and performed 240 times over the last year - it’s clear to see how Chris has been dubbed, not only “Omaha’s Best Unsigned Artist”- S. Johnson from Luludu Productions, or voted MTV 2’s “Number One Artist in Omaha,” but “The Hardest Working Musician in Omaha” - various Omaha Press.

Chris’s latest endeavor can best be described as an Original Rock-Jazz Trio; “A Sophisticated Musical Package with a Refreshing Feel Good Vibe.” Chris fronts the band utilizing an avant-garde approach to Acoustic Guitar, juxtaposing his unique and haunting vocal style, delivering soaring and memorable melodies. Chris is accompanied by Jazz prodigies: Mason Milliken on Saxophone and Adam Riedlebach on Drums.
