Cristina Gaynes

It swings and it sings,
and it reels and it feels!

The happy accident of a truck driver and a factory worker, this down-to-earth gal has the gain on the game (and the meek shall inherit the earth?) As a five year old, family members would hoist her up on the sofa and make her regurgitate Connie Francis tunes, while later, Bonnie Raitt and Linda Ronstadt played an important role in her musical endeavors. Her songs are fun, melodic and might even make you think, for this "Daughter of a Coney Island Cowboy" just tells it like it is!

Christina Fasano

Press reviews:
Michael Sullivan
This is the BEST indie release I have received yet! What a great album.....a real treat. Fasano has combined elements of pop with P-Funk and thrown in some Prince (the Revolution era) to make this the most danceable album of the year. Great songs,great hooks. Christina is on the road to become a STAR if the right person (major labels) take notice.
