Former local guitarist/singer Chris Brallier R.I.P.
It is with a very saddened heart that I am reporting that my sister-in-law's brother, Chris Brallier, a former local guitarist and singer, passed away yesterday in Houston, Texas from a sudden illness at the age of 42.
Chris performed with a few local bands in the 80s and 90s, including Primer Lime and some other groups, before moving to Nashville, TN and then Houston, TX for work. He continued to perform and record music in Houston. Chris leaves behind two small children and a wife.
He was a loving, hard working, great guy who will be immensely missed by many.
