Congratulations to Christina Crofts for having the Mixposure Song of the Week for July 22nd! This a great tune and you can check it out below.
As one of 7 children Christina learned early in life to paddle her own canoe. Moved by music from a very early age, Christina nagged her mum into buying her an electric guitar and amp at around 14 years of age and she messed about with chords which she taught herself by watching other players on tv etc. That was the extent of it until her early 20's when she met (and later married) Steve Crofts, who was playing guitar in a local band, and who was so impressed with her natural ability on guitar that he offered to give her guitar lessons. From then on Christina played in various cover bands in Sydney until the mid 1990's when she decided to form and front her own band, a 3 peice blues/rock cover band called 'Croftstown Traffic'.
In 2007 she decided to change tactics a little and go out under her own name with a whole batch of original new tunes, and in 2008 recorded and released her debut CD Midnight Train, which continues to be very well reviewed.
Christina is working steadily in and around Sydney and is definitely shaking up the rock and blues audiences around town.
