Hi, I’m Chris Strawder—most people just call me Strawder.

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas, but these days, I call Nashville, Tennessee, home.

I’m a musician, producer, writer, and arranger with a lifelong passion for music that goes far beyond just a career—it’s part of my purpose.

Since 2016, I’ve had the honor of serving as the Drummer and Music Director for Dove Award-winning and GRAMMY-nominated artist Tauren Wells. Beyond that, I’m passionate about collaborating with other artists to bring their live shows to life, arranging music and creating performances that connect with audiences.
