For me Christina Courtin is like a gentle breeze on a sunny day. It's the kind of music you blast through the house while cleaning barefoot. It's soft beautiful and full of emotion. Definitely worth checking out if you like Corinne Bailey Rae. When I get to New York, I'm definitely checking out a show, but check out her MySpace for more info.
"We were positively smitten and today present the delightful mermaid-haired Brooklynite, who studied classical violin at Juilliard, playing with the likes of Yo-Yo Ma, Kanye, and Beyoncé, before transitioning to honky-tonk-inspired singer/songwriter."
