Cristina Vane evokes Bonnie Raitt and early PJ Harvey with ‘Badlands,’ from the album Nowhere Sounds Lovely. Vane’s sizzling slide guitar gets a starring role along with her hypnotic melody…Entrancing stuff.” — Rolling Stone Country
Born in Italy to a Sicilian-American father and a Guatemalan mother, Cristina Vane has always had a tenuous relationship with identity and place. She grew up between England, France and Italy, and was fluent in four languages by the time she moved to her fathers’ native United States for university at 18.
Despite this, (and perhaps because of it) she had no sense of belonging to any one culture or country. What she did have, however, was an intense love of music.
Powered by her signature take on blues and rock, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Cristina’s debut album, “Nowhere Sounds Lovely,” earned her praise from the likes of American Songwriter, which praised her ability to sing “from both her voice and her supple, bluesy guitar-playing almost simultaneously.”
