With a voice that carries the dust of backroads and the hope of highways, Chris Sanders and The Better Days blend Americana soul, rock grit, and a storyteller’s heart into a sound that feels both lived-in and urgently alive.
Fronted by singer-songwriter Chris Sanders, whose lyrics walk the line between confessional and universal, the band emerged from late-night jam sessions and broken strings to become a tightly honed unit with something real to say. Backed by a powerhouse rhythm section and shimmering lead work, The Better Days deliver songs that feel like postcards from the edge — hopeful, haunted, and unmistakably human.
Their music speaks to starting over, holding on, and chasing the light — whether through heartbreak, hard times, or healing. Drawing influence from artists like Jason Isbell, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen, Chris Sanders and The Better Days carve out a space of their own with raw honesty and melodic grace.
Whether on stage or in the studio, the band brings an emotional charge and magnetic energy that turns first-time listeners into lifelong fans. With a debut record on the way and a growing reputation for unforgettable live shows, Chris Sanders and The Better Days are writing the soundtrack for everyone who’s ever believed in a second chance — and better days ahead.
