Carinda Christie Solo

The venue whether big or small, the audience is captured within her spell. 
Carinda Christie's act is all acoustic.  She sings, plays acoustic guitar, Dobro Slide guitar     and stomp box and lights up the show with humourous and entertaining annecdotes about life and music.
Music goes back a way in Carinda's family; both parents musicians from a long line. 
Playing guitar, piano, writing poetry and singing as a youngster she dreamed of entertaining. At nineteen she picked up her brothers guitar and starting singing professionally and has never stopped.  
 
The journey has found her playing in Venues such as
the famous Johnos Blues Bar in Cairns, to Festivals with 15,000 people.
Carinda has released four original albums and supported some fantastic Acts (more info below).  Carinda's reputation is growing rapidly after two solo tours along the East Coast in 2001.  She has widespread press coverage with stories and rave CD reviews in newspapers and magazine and on radio and TV.  With a growing mailing list  throughout Australia and the world Carinda recieves regular fan mail.  She now employs a professional writer to keep in touch with music lovers via a monthly newsletter through which she advertises all performances and promotes her music.

"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
