Toronto-based Chris Antonik is a three-time Maple Blues Award-nominee (Canada's national blues awards) and one of Canada’s most acclaimed blues artists. Blending innovative, thoughtful songwriting with stunning blues guitar work, some music critics have drawn comparisons to Eric Clapton.
In its 2010 year-end review, Chris was named the "future of the blues" by Canada's Blues Underground Network. In 2011, Chris was nominated for Best New Artist of the Year at the Maple Blues Awards.  In 2013, his sophomore album Better for You was hailed by critics as “a masterpiece,” “the best Canadian blues-rock album of 2013,” and “the sound of someone taking the blues to a new place.”
The album spent three weeks at #1 on DAWG FM (Canada's only all blues FM station), attained significant airplay across Canada, the US and Europe, including on Sirius XM Bluesville, and was nominated for Best Blues Album by the German Record Critics’ Association. Oregon’s CascadeBlues Association called it “one of the finest releases from the Great White North in many a year.”
Chris has performed at major blues festivals across Canada, and has toured the US extensively, including performances at Buddy Guy's Legends in Chicago (for the 2015 Buddy Guy's Legends Blues Festival), and Biscuits & Blues in San Francisco. In 2016, Chris returned to Buddy Guy's Legends in Chicago, and also undertook his first UK tour, headlining the Upton Blues Festival.
On April 7, 2017, Chris released his third studio record Monarch, which completed a trilogy of self-expression started in 2010.  The album reached #1 in Canada on the Roots Music Radio Report, and was nominated for Recording of the Year at the Maple Blues Award (Chris was nominated for Producer of the Year).  Chris also received a nomination for Songwriter of the Year.
