Bio
Christopher Long is an author, show biz analyst, award-winning musician, entertainment personality, Internet radio host and a rising name in Christian ministry. Known for his conversational, common sense writing style, Long is passionate about sharing the "Good News" of Jesus Christ through unique and compelling stories.
Raised in Missouri’s rugged Ozark Mountains and on Florida’s sunny Space Coast, Long first was lured into the professional entertainment world at age 15 when he promoted a local rock concert event as a student government project in 1978. By the 1990s, he was involved with bringing various top-name acts to concert stages throughout Florida’s central east coast.
Since 1985 Long also has been the frontman for the outrageous, Florida-based, award-winning hard rock act, Dead Serios. The band scored a college radio hit in 1989 with the rap / metal single, “Butterbean Queen," and has been featured in such prestigious periodicals as Billboard and Thrasher. The latest Dead Serios record is set to arrive in 2018.
