Description
Stark vocals and rich arrangements that stir a same depth of emotion that Courtin has imbued in each of her songs.
As anyone who's caught one of Christina Courtin's live performances can attest, the
critically acclaimed New York City-based singer-songwriter decisively takes over whatever space she's occupying. Her most recent album Situation Station can best be described as a tapestry of her musical and life experiences. As she weaves together her dual worlds, the singer-songwriter and Juilliard-trained violinist guides listeners through somber plains and heartbreak, all the while surrounding them with warmth, joy, and hope.
Christina Courtin is joined by long-time collaborators and NYC's downtown music scene royalty: Greg Cohen (acoustic bass), Danny Fox (piano), Michael LaValle (electric bass), Chris Parker (guitar), James Shipp (synths), Doug Wieselman
(saxophone), Kenny Wollesen (drums), and Brooklyn-based chamber orchestra, The Knights, conducted by Eric Jacobsen.
Recent performance highlights include The Amourasaurus Festival w/ Lake Street Dive and Mavis Staples; The Musikverein in Vienna, Austria; Live From Here & BRIC
Artist-In-Residence w/ The Knights; and Tribute to Elliot Smith at Bowery Ballroom.
Situation Station is one of the first must-have albums of 2020, for Folk, Jazz and
Classical fans alike.
