Chris Gaines

Contest: 2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Round 1
This website almost went up without this one! When Country Music singer, Garth Brooks was legitimately one of the biggest singers in the United States, like most artists he wanted to explore his range. We imagine he felt pigeonholed, which is why he created “Chris Gaines” who was an alter ego from the Alternative Rock world. The music he created was mediocre, though he could have easily just released this under his own name rather than put on an emo wig and eyeliner. Incidentally, this experiment would mark the beginning of his decline.
