Cristina Vane is an Americana artist out of Nashville bringing together her love for pre war delta blues and old time music and her contemporary influences. Her signature bottleneck slide guitar playing, travis picking, and clawhammer banjo are tied together by her silky, powerful voice and her vivid songwriting.

Born in Italy to a Sicilian-American father and a Guatemalan mother, Cristina Vane has always had a tenuous relationship with identity and place. She grew up between England, France and Italy, and was fluent in four languages by the time she moved to her fathers’ native United States for university at 18.  Despite this, (and perhaps because of it) she had no sense of belonging to any one culture or country.  What she did have, however, was an intense love of music.  Powered by her signature take on blues and rock, Vane’s debut album, Nowhere Sounds Lovely, documents her first summer-long tour across the United States, during which she came face to face with the breadth and depth of the American landscape, and her own place within it.

Although Vane claims to feel like an outsider still, it’s safe to say that she has dug into American culture more than many Americans will in their lifetimes.  She first encountered slide guitar while  performing her original music at a weekly gig in Camden, London during a summer home from college.  “From then on I got really into pre war era blues”, she explains, “I do like some electric blues, but honestly my favorite years are 1890 to 1950-1960.”   Vane credits Skip James, Robert Johnson, and Blind Willie Johnson, as well as Rory Block as some of her greatest influences.

Come enjoy an evening of live music, food and drinks at Isis Music Hall. Reservations are highly recommended.
