This is the real Chris Norton. You may not know his name, but nonetheless I assure you he is no impostor. This is the man who accompanied Sarah Silverman and Bill Burr live on Comedy Central’s Godd*mn Comedy Jam. This is the man who toured the world performing alongside the likes of Chick Corea and Steve Vai. This is the man who directed a Cirque du Soleil band. The man whose piano was wheeled out to centrestage each night to musically highlight every impossible step of a gravity-defying acrobat. This is the man who composed soundtracks for two award-winning South Australian indie video games. This is a man who puts an end to poorly pecked out Chopsticks renditions on airport pianos, and instead draws crowds with Chopin. This man is the real deal. This is the real Chris Norton
