Episode 30 - Cristina Vane
05/05/2020 Duration: 47minBased out of Nashville, Tennessee, Cristina Vane is taking the town by storm with her unique blend of blues and folk. Originally from Europe, she draws from such a great host of influences that it is impossible to compare her music to any one artist. That being said, she draws decisively from country blues, delta blues, and American folk music, creating her own flavor of the blues. Whether on the Venice boardwalk busking by the beach or on a stage in Mississippi, her signature resonator bottleneck playing and powerful vocals are unmistakable and unforgettable. The promising artist has made waves on her own thus far, opening for folks like Bob Weir, Wynonna Judd, Duane Betts, and Duke Robillard, being written up in local newspapers, and playing for organizations like Jam in the Van and Sofar Sounds- most recently playing notable venues like McCabes Guitar Shop and the Fillmore, San Francisco.http://www.cristinavane.com/https://www.facebook.com/cristinavanemusic/https://www.hambonerelay.com/https://www.hamboner
