About Chris Gelbmann
- Chris Gelbmann (born 27 April 1972) is an Austrian singer-songwriter who had an eventful life.
- Inspired by Bob Dylan, Jim Croce, JJ Cale, Nick Drake, Cat Stevens and many more, he started as singer-songwriter at the age of 13 and since his youth he was known for his charismatic voice, a distinctive timbre and a very own style.
- In the last years he worked behind the scenes of the music industry, where he realised numerous major projects like André Heller's 3 CD compendium "Ruf und Echo", the two triple platinum CDs of Christina Stürmer, the major label debut of Hans Platzgumer; he worked with Brian Eno, Stefan Sagmeister, Xavier Naidoo and many more.
- „The Pink Beast Of Love“ is his debut album, which has been released on 7 October 2005 on Buntspecht/Hoanzl in Austria and which was internationally especially well acclaimed. It took its name from a statement by American cult and bestseller author Tom Robbins.
- Because Robbins’ novel “Still Life With Woodpecker“ provided a lot of inspiration for Gelbmann’s debut album, the writer became one of the first exemplaries of the CD and reacted promptly with a comment on the album.
