Fryar has a music degree. In the mid-1990s he had been underemployed in a Birmingham cover band, but then joined the blues-rock band Gravy. Singer-guitarist Rob Thorworth said that Fryar raised the group's musical sophistication.[3]
In the 2000s, as part of Oteil and the Peacemakers, he was able to make use of both his jazz background and rock music sensibilities.[4] He also became part of a later incarnation of the Zac Brown Band.[1][5]
He divorced his prior wife and remarried on May 22, 2010, to Holly Travis, which gave Chris two step-children: Ashley and Allison.
Fryar endorses Grestch drums and Zildjian cymbals and states being extremely happy with his setup, but switches it around periodically. His main setup consists of:
18" fx oriental china trash
14" K/Z hi-hat pair
18" K dark crash thin
20" A custom crash
20" fx oriental Crash of Doom
20" A custom ping ride
20" K Constantinople medium ride (used as both ride and crash)
