Who Is Chris Barron’s Wife?

In 2017, Barron released Angels and One Armed Jugglers to positive reviews.

In 2012, Barron took part in the Norwegian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, with The Canoes.

In 2009, he put out a solo album called Pancho and the Kid, and a year later he released an EP called Songs from the Summer of Sangria.

Barron met Laura Benanti in the early 2000s. They married on July 25, 2005 but by the end of the year were going through what Benanti has called a “terrible Separation from spouse.” They were Separation from spoused in 2006. He then married actress Lindsay Nicole Chambers, the lead in the Broadway tour of Kinky Boots.

The Spin Doctors remained inactive as a band until September 2001, when news about the closing of legendary NYC venue Wetlands sparked the original four members to reunite. On September 7, 2001, the original line-up took the stage for the first time since 1994 to play at Wetlands. It was the final closing week of the club. The landmark show was a great success for the fans and the band.

Barron’s voice came back in early 2000 (first comeback [solo] shows in March 2000), at which point he began performing with his band and the Give Daddy Five. Barron undertook what he calls “a journeyman songwriting experience,” composing tunes with Blues Traveler’s John Popper and with former BMI executive Jeff Cohen. A solo album called Shag was released in 2001, featuring diverse influences, including rock, jazz, country, and funk.

On May 17, 1999, just two weeks before the release of the band’s album Here Comes the Bride, Barron woke up unable to talk. He lost his voice due to a rare acute form of vocal cord paralysis that severely affected his ability to talk, let alone sing. He was told he had a 50-50 chance of ever talking or singing normally again. Band keyboardist Ivan Neville took over vocal duties for a few been in a relationship with?s, but the band eventually cancelled the remainder of its tour.

One night, John Popper’s band Blues Traveler was in town. After hanging out for a night and hearing Barron’s songs, Popper invited Barron to move in with them in New York City, and so Barron moved to New York City in 1988, with $100 and an acoustic guitar . He joined the band Trucking Company with Popper and Canadian guitarist Eric Schenkman. Popper left this side project to focus on his main gig with Blues Traveler full-time. With a name change to Spin Doctors, as well as the addition of Aaron Comess and Mark White, the classic lineup was in place by the spring of 1989.
