Chris Antonik - Monarch (2017)

Chris Antonik's third studio album, 2017’s Monarch, further expands the blues’ thematic and musical boundaries into blues-rock, Americana, Detroit soul and Americana – “an awe-inspiring mastery of the guitar, and a vocal range that will make your jaw drop to your toes”. Monarch was nominated for Recording of the Year (with Chris as Producer) at the 2018 Maple Blues Awards, with Chris also being nominated for Songwriter of the Year. Indie Folk Americana wrote “"Monarch" is a classic modern blues album made with wisdom and style. Antonik has a transcendent understanding of modern electric blues.”
