Enjoy an evening of live music on Water Street! Our resident artist, Chris Flowers, will be performing every Friday throughout the month near Wagamama. Whether you’re strolling through the neighborhood, shopping, or dining at one of Water Street Tampa’s restaurants let the music set the tone for a perfect night out.
Chris Flowers is a Central Florida–based pianist, guitarist, vocalist, and live looping artist whose performances bring refined energy to luxury weddings, corporate galas, and private celebrations across the state. With the rare ability to provide seamless music for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions—even across split venues—Chris creates a polished, boutique experience from start to finish.
Raised in Key West, Chris began performing at just five years old. He studied classical piano under Juilliard professor Yehuda Guttman while simultaneously apprenticing in boogie-woogie and blues with Keys legend Barry Cuda, shaping a sound that blends concert-level technique with deep-rooted soul. His career has included collaborations with icons such as Delta Blues Hall of Famer Big Jack Johnson, Grammy winner Pinetop Perkins, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame saxophonist Clarence Clemons, James Cotton, Walter Trout, and Grammy-winning zydeco artist Chubby Carrier—co-signs that reflect both his musicianship and versatility. On stage, Chris delivers elegance, authenticity, and flow, setting the tone for unforgettable events. 📸 Follow on Instagram.
