“A rock kid who is obsessed with old music” is one way Cristina Vane describes her distinctive sound built around her command of several instruments and confidence as a singer. The release of Hear My Call on February 21st marks her third full-length release since 2021 and reinforces Cristina’s place as a singer/songwriter with serious chops who is also a badass guitarist. Vane has a backstory that begins in Italy before a childhood in England and France and includes a half-American/half-Guatemalan heritage. Her musical roots may be classic rock, 90s Indie, and heavier rock but that is tempered by her passion for country and bluegrass, old time fiddle and banjo music, and pre-war blues tunes. “When it came to the album, I wanted it to be a reflection of who I am, not just of the old music that I’ve come to love,” she explains, “After being exposed to all of this music that was foreign to me, I am slowly figuring out how to find my own voice within it. It is the sound of growing up.”
