Chris Manning

Chris Manning is a Texas country singer-songwriter based near Austin in the Hutto area, fronting Chris Manning & The Southbound Drifters for a decade-plus of shows across Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Louisiana. Live Coupland Dance Hall cuts—Aint the Whiskey, Boys From Oklahoma, Take Me Out to the Dance Hall, Rose Queen, and Devil In Black—document originals and covers for dance-floor rooms, with Facebook framing a poet trying to keep country music alive.

San Jac Saloon calendars list Chris Manning among historical multi-date names on the venue's public schedules. Stage identity is full beard, cap or cowboy hat, and full-band Texas country built for multi-hour honky-tonk bookings.

On HeyAustin, Chris Manning is cataloged so San Jac and Texas country listings can match by name or Southbound Drifters alias and inherit a complete artist profile—bio, video, and imagery.
