Chris Gaffney (October 3, 1950 – April 17, 2008) was a singer and songwriter from the American Southwest. His career, both as a solo artist and as a member of several bands, was as eclectic as his musical tastes. Although he never achieved wide-spread fame, Gaffney, who died at the age of 57 from liver cancer, left his mark on country, rock, soul, and other forms of American music. In its obituary, the LA Times described Gaffney as "a peer of Dave Alvin, Los Lobos, X and the Red Hot Chili Peppers in chronicling the life of Southern California."
