Chris "Whipper" Layton was the drummer for the electric blues band Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble. Born in 1955 in Corpus Christi, Texas, Chris moved to Austin, Texas in 1975. Chris has played with various artists since the death of Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1990, including the Arc Angels, with Charlie Sexton, Doyle Bramhall II and fellow Double Trouble member Tommy Shannon; Double Trouble with Shannon and various "guest" artists; Storyville, also with Shannon and Malford Milligan; the Laura Love Band, and more recently Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

In 2004, Whip joined old friends Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar) and "Big" Ben Richardson to form Grady in Austin TX. The band released "Y.U. So Shady" in 2005 and toured to support the album through 2006. In early 2006, Chris left the band to pursue multiple music projects, and was replaced by Billy Maddox in Grady.
