Meet Chalmer

The Eclectic Maestro: Las Vegas native CHRISTOPHER MASSA is the spark that ignites CHALMER’s fiery performances. Influenced by grunge, prog, and jazz, his fingers invoke magical melodies while weaving electric dreams into lucid reality.

The Rhythmic Soul: YADER ‘Chino’ FONSECA, hails from Nicaragua! Chino is the rhythmic backbone of the group. His sticks are an extension of his arms as he delivers precise, energetic beats that are the pulse of CHALMER’s sound.

The Voice of CHALMER: The lead singer, CHALMER HARPER, grew up in East Tennessee. Chalmer is the husky, bearded figure with glasses, who strums his acoustic guitar and belts out lyrics with a passion that captivates audiences. His voice, rich and emotive with a bit of a Southern draw, tells stories that resonate with listeners, drawing them into the very essence of the band’s soul.

The Low End: ANDY SHARPLES made his way to the desert from Detroit, MI where he cut his teeth playing in a punk/ska band. As the grounding force of the band, his deep grooves are the heartbeat of CHALMER, providing the solid foundation upon which their music soars.
