Christopher Lane Conley (born on February 29, 1980), usually known as Chris Conley, is an American musician and songwriter, a member of the band Saves the Day.

He was born and raised in Princeton, New Jersey, and began playing the guitar when he was thirteen years old. He says that listening to Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith as a child made him interested in writing and playing music. He also said that the first song he ever learned on guitar was Stairway to Heaven.

Immediately after learning how to play the guitar, he formed a band with classmates titled Sefler. After the band had begun recording, it was suggested to them that they change their name. They shortly after changed their name to Saves the Day. They had already signed a record contract and had released their first full-length recording by the time he was a senior in high school.
