Christine Tobin has had nothing but praise from those in the know on the jazz scene. It’s little wonder! Irish-born Tobin has been gifted with an award winning voice and a sharp songwriting talent, her career spans six highly acclaimed albums and the reputation of her live performances precedes her.
Firmly rooted in a tradition that emphasizes storytelling, Tobin creatively blends jazz, folk and blues in the rich, dark layers of her probingly intense compositions. Tobin also lends her unique, sharp-edged interpretive powers to a diverse field of standards from Leonard Cohen through to Cole Porter as well as her own expressively unsentimental arrangements of material by the likes of Bob Dylan and Brian Wilson.
"The Tobin voice is simply peerless" - Jazzwise Magazine
"Great timing is a gift given to few and one that Tobin possesses, along with an exciting tendency to take the darker path" - The Times
"Definitely one of the country’s finest musicians" - Time Out
