Reviews and testimonials

A lady, a battered strat and a bottle on her finger. You might be forgiven for expecting this CD to be reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt and that's why it's a pleasant surprise to put this disc in the player and hear a rockin' sound more reminiscent of Hendrix or Steve Ray coming out of the speakers. NSW based Christina plays a tough, rugged style of blues tempered by strong instrumental chops and a slightly sweet edge to her voice. The songs are honest stories about life and are mercifully free of the 'blues mama' lyrical clichés that are the hallmark of lazy songwriting. Keep your eyes on the gig guides for details of Christina touring in Melbourne in November.

Matthew Fredericks - Oct 2009. CD Review 'Midnight Train'

Armed with a road weary, weather-beaten strat, Christina Crofts kicks off her debut solo album in feisty fashion, with some 'buzzsaw' style blues slide on the track title 'Midnight Train'. The energy level never wanes over a 37 minute duration, in which Crofts offers up a fine spread of classic blues riffs and licks. The songwriting may occasionally fall into cliché, however Crofts' smokin' slide and character filled vocal more than compensates. A seasoned Sydney bluester, Crofts finally gets the chance to shine on her own a does herself proud.
Australian Musician Magazine - 2011

This is blues/rock of a high quality at its purest and wittiest, Christina uses the slide and sings with so much liveliness, conviction and satisfaction that you must yield to this "Sassy" lady! .... Lucinda Williams meets Rory Gallagher down under.

'There are very few women in the world let alone in Australia who have not only taken up hard blues guitar, but play with as much verve, conviction and sheer sassiness as any of the big name 'guitar heroes' ...Here in Sydney Christina Crofts has been carving it with the best of them for a decade or so! .... The power in a record like this is in those soaring, shimmering, beckoning, aching, feisty, celebratory ricocheting guitars, the natural medium of the players. That's where you hear the power of love, musical or otherwise.

“Second prize went to Christina Crofts who pulled off some searing, dirty rockin’ blues on a couple of battle scarred vintage Strats”

Biography

As one of seven children, Christina learned early in life to ‘paddle her own canoe’. Affected by music from an early age, by the time she reached her early teenage years, Christina knew her ‘passion’ was to play guitar (although it would be sometime before circumstances would allow her to really embark on this journey). She persuaded her mother to buy a cheap electric guitar and practice amp and she taught herself basic chords by playing along with her favourite records and by observing guitar players on TV. That was the extent of her playing until she met Steve Crofts, who, impressed by Christina’s natural feel and passion for guitar, offered to give her guitar lessons.

From this time on, Christina auditioned for and played in many cover and original bands over the years, and in the mid 90’s formed and fronted her own band ‘Croftstown Traffic’ – a blues/rock cover band. The band enjoyed several successful years performing in and around Sydney, including appearances on the ‘Australian Blues Festival’; ‘The Great Southern Blues & Roots’ festival and a support with legendary Aussie blues band ‘Chain’ and culminating in the release of a debut CD in January 2006 - Croftstown “Unboogie” - a track from which (Gonna Find A Way) received a Top 5 nomination in the Musicoz Awards in 2006 in the blues category.

Described by those who know her as spirited, passionate, funny and just a little reckless, these traits are readily identified in her music and when added to a wealth of life experiences there is no escaping the raw honesty and humour in her music.

Armed as always, with her artillery of ‘battled scarred old Strats, a slide she fashioned from a Tia Maria bottle, one of meanest Vox AC30’s on the planet, sassy vocals and fresh new material now available on her debut CD 'Midnight Train' - Christina has launched her solo career!
