“Christine is an amazing songwriter, guitarist, and performer!” -Chely Wright
Philadelphia area native Christine Havrilla utilizes the soft gritty texture of her vocals to express warmth and honesty listeners quickly embrace as well as her aggressive, raw, trash-style guitar playing and looping. Even with a 2020 cancer diagnosis, you’ll still find Christine hitting the road hard & continuing with her writing, touring, jammin’ & living! You need to experience her LIVE and be wrapped up by her positive energy! Havrilla, who has 14 albums, 2 EPs, and over 25 years of touring under her belt, continues to venture out under “Christine Havrilla & Gypsy Fuzz” as well as a solo artist, showcasing ALL of her music with new twists, and described as “a blend of 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s rock delivered by the modern singer/songwriter.”
Christine, a self-taught musician, is known for bringing her “well-built, catchy, smart tunes” (Upstage Magazine) to audiences everywhere, touring nationally as a solo act as well as with Gypsy Fuzz. After an inspirational time of being based in Portland, OR, Christine is once again back in the Northeast and frequenting such venues as World Café Live, Steel City, Godfrey Daniels, Jammin’ Java, John and Peter’s, Rockwood Music Hall, Ramshead on Stage, and The Tin Pan, to name a few.
Jessica Smucker & The End of Everything
Jessica Smucker believes that the best way to change the world is to channel our pain into connection. Her songs have a way of reaching deeply into people’s souls and inviting the kind of reflection that feels both reassuring and unsettling. Wrapped in catchy melodies, her lyrics appear simple and relatable on the surface, but each listen will uncover more hidden pockets of nuance. She’s the kind of writer and performer who can lull a noisy room into a hush with a single line.
Based in Lancaster, PA, Jessica was raised in the Mennonite faith tradition by a family full of storytellers, activists, adventurers, and pranksters. Her discography includes 3 full-length albums, 2 EPs, and a handful of singles, with more recorded music coming soon. She performs regularly throughout the U.S., and curates/hosts an in-the-round concert series in her hometown, called Songwriters in the Raw. Her band, The End of Everything, consists of Mike Bitts and Steve Brown (The Innocence Mission), as well as James Lipka (Tractor Jerry, Ogham Stones).
