About Christy
Christy is a North Carolina native whose talents are now being enjoyed all
over the world, due in part to her coast-to-coast touring, the national and
international airplay, and the worldwide distribution of her music. She has
produced and independently released three CDs of her acoustic-driven,
life-embracing and thought-provoking music. Her CDs have received praise for her
lyrics that encourage you to think and feel and open you up to laugh, love, and
enjoy life. In the words of Les Reynolds of Indie-Music.com, "This North
Carolina singer-songwriter is one you could listen to all day...rich,
comfortable yet forceful vocals, fluid and sometimes percussive acoustic
guitar...Christy could change the world with her songs."
Once Christy graduated with her degree in Marking, it wasn’t long before she
realized that performing music is how she really wanted to be spending her time.
So, she began performing and recording, that was in 1991. In 1996 she decided to
at least try Corporate America, since her family seemed so sure she would love
it. She tried to love if for three years and though she did enjoy the challenge
and the promotions one day in 1999 she felt a familiar feeling, that she was
sure being a singer/songwriter was her path. That was shortly after the release
of her second CD “Solid Ground”. Christy has been performing music full time
ever since. In 2000 she released her first live CD “Awake & Alive” which gives
the listener a peek into Christy’s captivating live shows.
Several things began to shift for Christy and her music in 1999. Her soul
searching began to show in her songwriting with songs like “Save Yourself”…“The
answers are there if we can stand the scare of the questions we wish to ask.”
Musically things began to shift as well; Christy had learned to play the
harmonica and was accompanying herself with moody harmonica rifts. Her most
recent instrumental addition has been the Native American Flute, an instrument
that adds even more depth and echoes of her soul.
You are sure to hear about her Southern Baptist upbringing as well as her
current beliefs that all of us on this planet are equal, worthy and loved and
that the answers we seek to life’s questions are already within us. Her current
beliefs are a mixture she often refers to as New Thought-Pagan-Native
American-Buddhist, which probably has something to do with why her music is sort
of Spiritual-Folk-Pop-Rock-Americana. You can just call it “Good” for short.
Reviews
"Snow's fluid guitar and powerful vocals stand out. Christy, a North
Carolina native, sounds, to me, like a southern Ani DiFranco. However, her voice
has more range and is more powerful and Christy is more prone to turn a positive
message than Ani. Christy also accompanies herself with a bluesy harmonica and
has recently added the Native American Flute, which is a welcome change of
sound. Her Folk/Pop music always has a message. "Taking Back My Life" is a song
she wrote for women who have been abused. "Safe" is autobiographical in the way
that she finally quit her day job and ventured onto the road as a full-time
singer/songwriter. "Ready to Believe" is an upbeat number about maintaining a
positive attitude and simply "expecting" good things to happen. A good start for
a new Christy Snow fan would be her "Awake and Alive" album, her most recent
live collection. "
Jim Clark/Lee County Courier - Tupelo, MS
"Well, she stands out, combining acoustic guitar with soulful harmonica...
and lyrics that will knock your socks off."
Carrie Hamblen/KRWG Las Cruces, NM
"She's good, really good. And she does all this through a voice combining
the qualities of KD Lang and Natalie Merchant (yes, that's right, and it works!)
This North Carolina singer-songwriter is one you could listen to all day.
Instrumentally, Christy's second CD… is solid and acoustic driven. Lyrically,
it's excellent."
