We have a very special double bill lined up for you for January, featuring full sets from Chrissy Strong and Morgan Erina!
Chrissy Strong (https://www.chrissystrongmusic.com/) is an Akron Ohio based singer/songwriter, winning Best Female Vocalist of 2022 for The Cleveland Music awards. Chrissy, a self taught musician, has battled with long term substance abuse and alcoholism and has been recovering since April 1st of 2006. Her song writing is rooted in soulful, edgy piano ballads with the raw and free-flowing approach of muses like Tori Amos, Thom Yorke, Warpaint, and Amanda Bergman. Her Debut single, “Send Angels”, offers a tender and haunting reflection on encounters with love and longing, fear and desperation – and the many forms they take.
Strong has developed a devoted fan following, moved by her spirited live performances and brave and honest storytelling.
“Chrissy exudes an energy that is absolutely infectious. Her natural ability at story telling coupled with her moving, original compositions is an experience you must not miss. She will make you laugh, she will make you cry and everything in between. Mostly, however, she will inspire you to know that regardless of your past, there is a future beyond your wildest dreams, waiting for you!” – Desiree Reed, Square One Health, BTAS, CDCA
