About Chris Collingwood

Chris Collingwood is an American singer, songwriter, and artist. He is best known as the lead vocalist and founding member of the power pop band Fountains of Wayne. I checked out on the previous record, so when I came back in, I had to assert myself. Every single thing about that record was a fight. After many years as an alcoholic, Collingwood became sober by 2011.
