Chris Bullinger gets under your skin with his new acoustic single and video How To Bleed (Castle Sessions) — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
Poet and singer-songwriter Bullinger’s latest release is an acoustic reimagining of the title track from his recent album. This intimate version brings a new depth to the song, showcasing Chris’s soulful vocals and intricate guitar work. Recorded in the serene ambiance of the Castle Studios in Franklin, TN, this track not only highlights Bullinger’s past achievements but also paves the way for his future, as he prepares to release a bold slate of new material this year.
Bullinger’s story is one of relentless pursuit of artistic truth, tempered by life’s experiences and the wisdom they impart. After over a decade in the solar energy industry, achieving success as an entrepreneur, Chris has turned back to his first love of music. With his roots in the Midwest, Chris’s music is imbued with the spirit of hard-luck, outlaw country singer-songwriters who have influenced him since his youth. His work is a reflection of life’s complexities, captured through the lens of his earnest, evocative songwriting.
Raised on a diet of Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt and Steve Earle, Chris crafts songs that blend observation, empathy, and rhythm into a tapestry of human emotion. His approach to songwriting mirrors his approach to life: With open-hearted observation and a rhythm that resonates with the universal human experience.
To date, Chris has recorded five critically acclaimed albums. His 2022 album True Rendition and 2023’s How To Bleed were No. 1 Added on NACC Folk. He’s garnered 100k monthly listeners and over 2.8 million cumulative video views. As a songwriter, Chris writes about truth more than fact. He believes the process of songwriting — and art in general — comprises three key components: Observation, empathy, and rhythm. Accordingly, he is an astute observer of the human condition, often focusing on one key instant, empathizing with it, and then expanding that moment through rhythm.
How To Bleed (Castle Sessions) offers a moment for both reflection and anticipation. It represents a period of creative rebirth for Chris, a prelude to his upcoming project that promises to be a significant addition to his discography.
