Press Reviews San Bernardino Sun, Music Review by Steve Robles: Chris Thayer Band at Redlands Coffee & Tea Co., December 21st. Most people believe that there is a soundtrack to their lives. Watching and listening to the Chris Thayer Band: Thursday night at Redlands Coffee and Tea, two things became obvious. The first is that if there’s any music to a colorful life, it sounds a lot like the CTB. The second is that when Thayer sings and the band plays, we are definitely eavesdropping on someone’s life soundtrack.Luckily for us, the Chris Thayer Band is seeking an audience right now and are accessible and eager to gain exposure. In a couple of years, we may not be so lucky to catch them in such an intimate setting as Redlands Coffee and Tea.Some advice: get ready to say "you saw them when."
