Christina Courtin Situation Station

As anyone who's caught one of Christina Courtin's live performances can attest, the critically acclaimed New York City-based singer-songwriter decisively takes over whatever space she's occupying. Her most recent album Situation Station can best be described as a tapestry of her musical and life experiences. As she weaves together her dual worlds, the singer-songwriter and Juilliard-trained violinist guides listeners through somber plains and heartbreak, all the while surrounding them with warmth, joy, and hope. Christina Courtin is joined by long-time collaborators and NYC's downtown music scene royalty: Greg Cohen (acoustic bass), Danny Fox (piano), Michael LaValle (electric bass), Chris Parker (guitar), James Shipp (synths), Doug Wieselman (saxophone), Kenny Wollesen (drums), and Brooklyn-based chamber orchestra, The Knights, conducted by Eric Jacobsen. Recent performance highlights include The Amourasaurus Festival w/ Lake Street Dive and Mavis Staples; The Musikverein in Vienna, Austria; Live From Here & BRIC Artist-In-Residence w/ The Knights; and Tribute to Elliot Smith at Bowery Ballroom. Situation Station is one of the first must-have albums of 2020, for Folk, Jazz and Classical fans alike.
