Biography
Screamin Eagle (born Christopher Alan Nanney on October 11th 1987) is a modern blues/country singer songwriter from Jacksonville, Fl.
At age 22, on Easter Sunday 2010, being lead by “The Great Spirit”, Chris broke into one of the south’s largest Baptist churches, stole the staff from a Moses statue, then stood out front with it pointed to the sky screaming.
“He had no shirt or shoes, was wearing a piece of purple cloth like a cape, and was holding a wooden club. Those items are listed in the arrest report as being stolen from inside the church.”

Chris spent 3 months in Duval Country Jail then 6 months in a state-run mental hospital for the criminally insane in Gainesville, Fl. Being adjudicated “not guilty by reasons of insanity” he’s now a free man.
The 'Screamin Eagle' self-titled EP, released April 20th, 2011, is 6 raw songs of light and dark recorded directly after his return home.
