About Me |
|
| Christabel and the Jons is a southern swing band based in east
Tennessee that blends familiar standards with modern vintage
sounding originals. Their music is acoustic and colorful, a blend
of Appalachian mountain music and vintage swing. The
group saunters and sways together with ease. Lead singer
Christa DeCicco steals hearts with her come-hither delivery and
charismatic stage performance. Her songwriting is heartfelt and
nostalgic, and her distinctive, sultry voice brings it all home. Old
suitcases and dressy vintage costumes from the 1920s-1950s
give the performance a torch singer, speakeasy feel. Since the spring of 2005 this quirky band has been performing and recording their distinctive style of folky swing. In November of 2006 they released their first official album, "Love and Circumstances.” Christabel and the Jons is currently recording their highly anticipated second album, which is as of yet untitled... Meanwhile they continue to tour, mostly around the southeast region but with periodic voyages to the northeast, southwest, and pacific northwest. They can often be found in thrift stores as they travel from town to town, hunting for clip-on ties and 1950s party dresses. |
