Christina Hutt
Once described as a full-bodied glass of red wine, it is reminiscent of the succulent vocals you would have heard flowing from a transistor radio in the late 50’s
She welcomes you into the secrets of her heart with fierce passion and endearing spirit. Christina’s diversity in genres is a pleasant surprise. The lyrics in her song “Cracks & Crevices” takes you deep into the chilling darkness of mental distress while her tune “Fifteen Shades” makes you feel like you might just be at a Patsy Cline Tribute Show.
