“Christopher DeLair's musical universe transports me to a world of wonder, hope, and magic.  I can’t wait for New York City audiences to experience the emergence of this exciting new writer,” said James A. Rocco, co-director of the concert. 

Christopher DeLair is a NYC-born, Seattle-based composer. He’s been playing piano and writing songs since he was a child, and Signs of Life will be his first major work as a writer of both the script and score. He is a nature lover and a certified Astrologer. Aquarius to a fault, he is passionate about all the esoteric sciences. He identifies as the boy who fell to Earth. 

Past writing projects include More Than a Feeling, an original, 7-episode series featuring the students at Shorecrest High School. Many of DeLair’s stand-alone songs have been featured in New York’s cabaret scene, most recently a concert at Symphony Space to raise money for ALS and to celebrate the life and talent of the late Rebecca Luker. 

“It’s a surreal and wonderful experience to have characters in your head be sung into existence by amazing artists, accompanied by stellar musicians. I’m so excited for you to meet a few ‘Signs’, along with some other eccentric characters that live in my mind,” said Mr. DeLair.
