Christine Havrilla
This is a special appearance for online streaming only in between Christine’s current cancer treatments. There will be no live audience inside the Kelly Center.
Award-winning Philadelphia native Christine Havrilla, except for this Covid-driven quarantine time, brings her “well-built, catchy, smart tunes” (Upstage Magazine) to audiences everywhere, touring nationally solo and also with the support of her band, Gypsy Fuzz. Coming off of her performance at Sundance Film Festival 2020, Christine utilizes the soft gritty texture of her vocals to express warmth and honesty listeners quickly embrace as well as her aggressive, raw, trash-style guitar playing and looping. What’s Up Magazine exclaims, “Christine breaks out the gasoline and sets fire to the typical Roots/Folk genre with blazing guitars.” Ed Kiggins of inD Round raves, “Christine is one of the hardest working women in music. With her child prodigy-come-of-age guitar virtuosity, a supremely passionate and emotive voice, and an arsenal of wondersongs that have endeared her to a loving and devoted audience, she is in a class all of her own. She calls her unique style Neofunkadelicfolkpoptwangrock, but we simply call her brilliant!” The Dover Post (2019) exclaims, "Christine Havrilla is a tough-as-nails front-woman with a serious habit of rocking a plethora of stages." The Washington Post writes, “(Havrilla’s) songs are intelligent and moving, the arrangements are incisive and colorful, and, best of all, Havrilla consistently comes across as a confident and seasoned performer.” Christine has also shared the stage with artists like Brandi Carlile, Chely Wright, Jeffrey Gaines, America, Trigger Hippy, Jill Sobule, Janis Ian, Antigone Rising, Melissa Ferrick, Dave Mason, & Davy Knowels to name a few. Christine is listed with Takamine Guitar’s Worldwide Artists, Clayton Picks, Telefunken Mics. Michaela Majoun, former DJ from 88.5 WXPN, applauds her "terrific, big sound”, while Philadelphia Magazine states, “She rocks!” The band released a new 2019 studio album called “Sunless Escapade”, recorded at Studio 1311 outside of Philadelphia, PA. Christine can also be found playing bass for Mama’s Black Sheep and 3 Stories High.
