Philadelphia area native Christine Havrilla brings new music to you in 2024! This EP, called None Of You, includes the bluesy rocker “None of You”, positive catchy pop-rock “Today, Today”, darker rocking “Fade”, Americana “Broken Wingʼ, and a waltzing ballad “Just Do You”! Recorded at Cambridge Sound Studios, this EP is sure to leave a lasting impression! WXPN's John Vettese raves, "Rock and roll singer-songwriter Christine Havrilla, has been a local favorite since the 90s, and her high-energy music is kindred in spirit with Sheryl Crow, Grace Potter, Brandi Carlile, and Lucinda Williams!" 2023ʼs EP and single, California Night, is a blend of 90s guitar and late 60s harmonies wrapped up in this catchy rocker about sharing the California Coast & itʼs memories. 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. 2019 brought a previous album with her band, Gypsy Fuzz, called “Sunless Escapade” which was recorded at Studio 1311. Even with Covid & a 2020 cancer diagnosis, youʼll still find Christine hitting the road hard & continuing with her writing, touring, jamminʼ & living! You need to experience her LIVE and be wrapped up by her positive energy! Until you can join her, she previously released a series of "Live Sessions" in 2014-2017, which included long-time fan favorites as well as new songs with her current band, Gypsy Fuzz. Recorded in numerous settings such as venues, living rooms, a recording studio with an live audience, an old church, etc…these volumes captured the spontaneous energy, soul-felt vibes and musical adventures that Christine brings to the stage, ANY stage! Havrilla, who has 15 albums, 2 EPs, and over 25 years of touring under her belt, continues to venture out under “Christine Havrilla & Gypsy Fuzz” as well as a solo artist, showcasing ALL of her music with new twists, and described as "a blend of 70ʼs, 80ʼs, and 90ʼs rock delivered by the modern singer/songwriter." Christine, a self-taught musician, is known for bringing her“ well-built, catchy, smart tunes” (Upstage Magazine) to audiences everywhere, touring nationally as a solo act as well as with Gypsy Fuzz. "Rock and roll singer-songwriter Christine Havrilla has been a local favorite since the 90's, and her high-energy music is kindred in spirit with Sheryl Crow, Grace Potter, Brandi Carlile, & Lucinda Williams" -John Vettese, The Key WXPN (2023)
