Christina's Interests

| General | playing the cello, singing everyday, every hour; recording, performing and listening to music; organizing people and events, striving for creativity and healthy green goodness in the plant, people and spiritual realms around me | | Music | It all started with the Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band & White albums (age 6+). Then moved to the Monty Python songs, Greatest Hits of the 1980's (as tutored by my bro), Simon & Garfunkel, and Harry Connick Jr.

Christina's Blurbs |
About me:
My real name is Christina Zaenker, and you can probably figure out the rest from reading on...
I am a cellist, singer, amateur trumpet player, and a bass/ rhythm-playing cellist. I love recording and playing original music.
I have been performing and recording since 1997, and have officially recorded on over 2 dozen albums. I rarely *just* record or play.. When I get involved with someone, I often help organize the shows, promote the gig and spread the word about the artists/ music, because I believe in it.
I take pride in creating events for and with other people, and became hooked to this when my friends and I created a vibrant arts community & event producing collective called the Living Closet (Vancouver, 1998-2001). Now I am a co-producer of an AWARD-WINNING INDIE ARTS & MUSIC festival in Wells, BC- ARTSWELLS FESTIVAL OF ALL THINGS ART. www.artswells.com
My current roster of bands and people play with includes-
*Yael Wand - my musical partner/ friend/ bandmate of many many years: her music and voice is original and inspiring.
*the Joey Only Outlaw Band- my kickass country punk rockabilly band.
*Kevin Kane- of Grapes of Wrath- his songwriting & music remains a compelling part of Canada's emotive soundscape
*Leela Gilday- JUNO for best Aboriginal Album of 2007! Amazing singer & woman from Yellowknife, now a natonal sweetheart. Her 5 piece band is all-star.
*Rae Spoon- the awesome alt-country singer, new album out Fall 2008 (I'm on 3 songs)
*Joel Kroeker- an awesome Canadian songwriter, we recorded a tune for Neil Young's tribute cd on EMI records.
*Jenny Galt, of Army of Jennys- MTV show Rockstar Supernova in July 2006, now launching her pop-electronica album (I'm on it too). A superstar rising.
*Tamara Nile/ T-NILE- banjo funk bluegrass diva, with awesome new album Aug 08 (I'm on 2 songs)
*Wayne Lavallee- Rock 'n Roll Indian Cowboy, award-winning national star, new album Fall 08 (I'm on one song)
*Art of Dying/ Hethro-accoustic- alt-rock band, winner of 2006 CFOX seeds competition, touring internationally
*David Roy Parsons- a great songwriter and musician
My list of people I play with is growing daily, and I would love to add to your music too:) I love to record...
