artist Christina Maria

just woke up, today is my last day in Canada until sometime in August. I truly love Vancouver and its people and am sad to leave, but also very excited to return to Switzerland and Berlin, my stomach is all upside down and makin weird noises. Last night at the Vancouver Cultural Centre was so amazing for me, so many people who I haven't seen in so long came, as well as so many new faces - it was so great to meet you. I was so blessed to have such an amazing, patient all around wonderful band!!! Niko Friesen, Scott Tucker, Tyson Naylor, JP Carter, Jimmy Baldwin & Juhli Connlin. I had the time of my life performing for everyone, Thank you so much for sharing the release of this album with me. When I say love, I mean it, Love Christina

Yo Kiddos, Last week, Robert Faldner, Peter Ploch and I shot a video for Carolina in Berlin. It was a really great experience with tonnes of enthusiasm and creativity bonking around. It took one day and an evening, and we shot it on Peters' large balcony. I played the tune while Robert worked the camera and directed, and Peter sprayed me with his GARDEN HOSE. Haha! Later, Jens Fussan came over and took some amazing photos! Thank you to everyone!! The video will be posted real soon. My May Swiss tour is going great! I'm on the last end of it now. I had a great time in Biel playing at the Etage Club opening for Pierre Omer from Geneva. Then we drove to Muri to perform at Hotel Ochsen - Musig im Muri, and Stephan Diethelm the organizer was so awesome! We had dinner at his house then had a really nice show. Last night I played at Cafe Henrici in Zurich, so much really really good food and wine and coffee. Tonight I play in Sissach, I have a lot of family over that way and I'm excited to play. <3 I'm really honored to be in the CD Hotbox this week for Edmontons' CKUA Radio Station! Along with Rufus Wainwright, Brad Mehldau, Richard Julian! By the way, have you heard of Richard Julian? He's a great songwriter from New York, I had a lesson with him there last year and he is crazy talented and really great. Pe Pa Po! Thank you Edmonton! Lots of love everyone, I hope to see you soon, Christina
