Christine Havrilla's Electronic Press Kit
In My Chair
The new CD from Christine Havrilla. Now available!
Christine Havrilla's latest album, "In My Chair," demonstrates her ever-evolving musicianship. In a very personal and solo endeavor, Christine sings and plays all instruments in her most ambitious effort to date. Writing and producing "In My Chair" from her home studio, listeners hear raw authenticity as Christine’s gritty vocals and overall musicality breathe life into fifteen engaging songs. Christine’s strength on guitar is ever-present. She delivers “In My Chair” in the unabashed style which has garnered her critical praise.
"In My Chair," released independently in May 2008, delivers an eclectic collection of songs as did its predecessor, “Velocity.” However with “In My Chair,” Havrilla showcases her songwriting abilities and instrumental prowess with an organic, intimate approach. Along with her earlier albums, Christine has a collection of songs that clearly define her as a pop singer/songwriter at the peak of her form.
We were at Georgie's for the first time, last Friday night. Cool little place. Decent venue to see you play. Looking forward to the dinner in the park (Wilmington)show. Hopefully we can hear some Tina Dico..hint hint...no time to sleep or count to ten, that would be awesome. Peace.

About this page:
<br />I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D
