Bio
For the past 9 years, singer & songwriter Christy Jefferson has made her living as a full time performer & recording artist domestically and abroad, with 8 self released CDs to her credit. Christy hails from Philadelphia, PA (USA), and tours the east coast of the US regularly at colleges, festivals, arenas, reputed listening rooms, and house concerts. Earlier this year, Christy enjoyed a very successful tour to the Falklands Islands, and is headed to England in April for a performance at the Dale Road Music Club. "I'm performing the same day as the royal wedding, so it will be a very nice relaxed after-party atmosphere where everyone will be able to kick back with a warming beverage and savor the residual smiles that we'll all be wearing from the events of a beautiful day!" Jefferson is currently promoting her most recent release, "Spring". It is part of a very unique recording project that she has embarked on this year; on the first day of each season, Christy is releasing a new EP as a FREE Digital Download from her web site: www.christyjefferson.com "Spring" is the first of four installments and will be up until June 21st, which is when "Summer" will take it's place. "As someone who is tremendously influenced and inspired by the seasons and cycles of nature, I'm very excited about rehashing some of my older material, exploring some cover songs, and recording some brand new original music -- all in alignment with the energy and feel of each season," said Christy. Christy has her BA in Vocal Performance and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Kutztown University. She has opened for national acts including Kansas, performed for live audiences of 10,000 people, sang her way out of a speeding ticket, been on TV (10! Show, Tuned In, 69, etc.) & radio (WXPN, Pandora) in the US and abroad, won international song competitions, performed at notable venues (Musikfest, Reading Sovereign Center, Coca-Cola Park), worked with well known producers (whose credits include John Lennon, U2, Stevie Nix, Tom Petty, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, etc.), and has had notable names perform on her recordings, including Blue Oyster Cult's Buck Dharma.

THE MORNING CALL, Allentown, PA newspaper "I can't imagine Christy not topping the charts someday." Gene Foley, Foley Entertainment "… a lovely voice and a wonderful sense of melody...." Dar Williams, singer / songwriter "Jefferson's style is...colored with a touch of art-rock that brings to mind a more accessible Jane Siberry or Kate Bush." THE MORNING CALL, Allentown, PA newspaper "…love her music….one of the finest new voices...." WESS DJ: East Stroudsburg University Radio "...Jefferson, whose soaring, expressive voice can sidle from smoky sultriness to ethereal dreaminess... a gamin confidently plying her charms one minute, an uncertain, tortured would-be lover the next." THE INTELLIGENCER, Philadelphia, PA newspaper
