70th & 71st AND FIRST SHOWS OF 2008 |
|
Christine Kane's CDs have been in my CD player
for more than a year (at least)! The moment we listened and learned more
about her it was an instant connection! We are SO happy to have her here to kick off
the 2008 season at Little Lake Hill House concerts! She is blazing a trail that
explodes the boundaries of the typical singer-songwriter track. Christine
headlines at celebrated music and arts festivals, like the
Kate Wolfe Festival and Chattanooga’s
Riverbend Festival, as well as at popular venues and theaters across the
country from the
Freight & Salvage to
The
Birchmere. But that’s not all. Christine has toured with the
North Carolina Dance Theatre in support of
a ballet they choreographed to her music. The show toured to rave reviews in
2006 and 2007, put Christine in the spotlight at major performing arts centers
around the U.S., and featured her in Dance Magazine. The Charleston Ballet
Theatre has also choreographed a ballet to Kane’s music, which debuted at
Charleston’s 2007
Piccolo-Spoleto Festival.
Christine’s songs have been recorded by several popular artists, including country diva Kathy Mattea, and “Nashville Star” finalist Casey Simpson. Borders Books & Music chose Christine’s CD, Rain & Mud & Wild & Green as one of the Best of 2003, and the Washington Post called her “a petite powerhouse of a singer.”
She is much MORE than a singer/songwriter/teacher/entertainer!!! Christine is also sought-after as a public speaker and creativity consultant. Christine is contracted by the Federal Government to teach creativity as part of its bi-monthly Leadership Assessment Program, an intensive retreat for government leaders. She has taught her unique method of building creativity to groups such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the CIA - and on the campuses of many colleges and universities, including University of Tennessee, Drury University and Boston College.
Christine also facilitates three-day retreats for women at a resort in the mountains of Western North Carolina four times a year. These events sell out months in advance. You will learn (and ENJOY) so much more about her at her website! Many of you will find a kindred spirit in Christine Kane.
Christine has very recently released a new double CD/DVD of her live shows (6th CD) and it won a 2007 Telly Award for Best Entertainment Program. Have a listen to several selections from her latest through her first CDs
