Chris Barron's legacy is the stuff of myth. His band, The Spin Doctors were ubiquitous in the early nineties. Everyone owned their album Pocketful of Kryptonite as it blared out of summer speakers all across the globe.



Barron has a Grammy nomination, a Rolling Stone cover, two multi-platinum albums and two Top Ten hits -Little Miss Can't Be Wrong and Two Princes - for which he won a BMI award. In 1999, doctors believed that Barron would never sing again because of a rare vocal chord paralysis.



Perhaps the story would've ended there had Chris not, a year later, wondered into the iconic Sidewalk Café in NYC, home of the Antifolk scene to see his friend Lach run the infamous open stage night known as The Antihoot.



Charmed by the burgeoning scene, which at that time included the as yet unsigned Regina Spektor, Jeffrey Lewis and The Moldy Peaches, Barron kept coming back to the weekly event. After several weeks Barron asked Lach for a slot. You could hear a pin drop as Chris took the stage (as by now the scene knew he had been hanging out, a multi-platinum superstar in their midst who had tragically lost his voice).



The Revolving Doors tour with Antifolk legend Lach will see Chris doing his very first solo tour of the UK playing his hits with The Spin Doctors as well as breaking out exciting new material.

Lach has been called "New York's living legend" by Time Out London and "The roots of modern songwriting: Bob Dylan, Syd Barrett, The New York Dolls, Nick Drake and Lach!" High praise indeed but not uncommon for the founder of Antifolk, the international phenomenon that's been cited as a main inspiration for such acts as Beck, Regina Spektor, Laura Marling and hundreds of others.
