Carinda Christie
is an emerging Australian indie artist who mainly plays as a one woman show, her antics of story telling along with the raw dobro slide, stomp box, acoustic guitar and big voice opt for a good night out. She has released 5 albums over the last ten years and tours when she can as she has a young family to think about. She has developed a formidable reputation due to her prowess as an absolute seasoned performer & songwriter.
Her repertoire of diverse energetic originals, leaning towards a folk, pop, rock and blues combination appeals to audiences of all ages.
Paper Reviews
"A soloist with the potential to make a significant impact at a national level....she has a strong sense of rhythm and her playing has a pronounced percussive edge.....with a strong powerful voice which cuts across a wide octave range and boasts gobsmacking sustain. Tony Hillier Barfly 14 Feb 2002
"Cairns singer guitarist and stomp box player Carinda Christie" has "an earthiness that should captivate lovers of soulful pop, folk, rock...an accomplished performer, who lists a support act for Collective Soul at the recent Goodwill Games among her credits....a refreshing change from so many moulded mainstream performers today". Aldwyn Altuney, Gold Coast Sun Sept 26 2001
"This chick doesn't play around with a note, she smacks it right in the guts!". Harry Slee, Barfly Dec 2000

Carinda-Thanks for joining our roster of friends. Love your Delta slide on "Mumma". A couple of SMG friends were here in L.A. last night trading off accompanying you on Strats. Everyone loved your playing style and your great vocal range. Keep doing what you do!

Thanks Carinda - you rock! thanks for being sucha faithful friend, always there to pick us up when we're feeling blue. Love you so much and cant wait to tour with you in 2010. See you at the Shed mate and all the best at the Speigletent.
"...it’s like Kid Strange and Urban Blitz from the Doctors of Madness at
their most morose played Overhang Party, or a mogadon’d Peter Hammill
jamming with Van Der Graaf’s Graham Smith. Elsewhere, the singular
desolation is most reminiscent of the most down down moments of Nico’s
THE MARBLE INDEX or even of Jesse Colin Young’s The Youngbloods at
their most mercurial. But the Scrapes are still so original their music
ultimately don’t sound like nobody but themselves." Julian Cope
