Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on April 10, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Chris Carrabba! May your day be filled with more joy than a Dashboard Confessional sing-along and fewer tears than an emo anthem. From the heartfelt melodies of Further Seems Forever to the foot-stomping folk vibes of Twin Forks, you've given us countless reasons to belt out lyrics in our cars (and occasionally embarrass ourselves at karaoke).

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—more packed venues, unforgettable performances, and perhaps another timeless tune that we'll still be passionately singing decades from now. Keep strumming those heartstrings; after all these years, you're still hands down everyone's favorite troubadour!
