Chris Eaton (b. 1971, Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada) is the founder and lead vocalist of Toronto-based indie rock band Rock Plaza Central. He began as a solo artist, with various musicians backing him, often using musical improvisation. In 2003, the current line-up of Rock Plaza Central formed during such a gig in Toronto, and they recorded their first album in that incarnation only a month later. Their second album, Are We Not Horses, was favorably reviewed by influential music journal Pitchfork Media.
He is also a published author. His first novel The Inactivist (2003), has already been required reading on two university courses at McGill University in Montreal. His second novel, The Grammar Architect (2006), is a retelling of a Thomas Hardy book, A Pair of Blue Eyes.
