Music in the Garden: Miss Christine

// ABOUT MISS CHRISTINE //

Miss Christine: Confident, catchy, and queer.

Christine Moad had achieved the musician’s dream: success as an internationally touring bassist and many side gigs back in Nashville. There was just one problem: she was unfulfilled.

It took courage to leave it all behind. Having made the decision to leave Nashville and the hectic, cut-throat, session musician scene, Christine settled on a farm in her home state of Iowa and spent time exploring the inner workings of her mind. Meditation became part of her daily routine.

Stargazing in the flyover state beside her library of Beatles memorabilia, she crafted the foundations of her debut record Conversion. Indie rock, new wave, bluesy soul influences, and more all find their home amongst a punky grit. Gender, personal strength, challenging relationships, and the current political climate in the United States, are just some of the subjects tackled in Conversion.

Christine’s free spirit and positive attitude are sowing the seeds of self-acceptance for a new generation of women, men, and others.

// ABOUT THE MUSIC IN THE GARDEN SERIES //

Stanley-Whitman House's Music in the Garden Series presents artists and shows differently than a club show- instead our house concert is more up close and personal. All of the artifice is stripped away. No stage, no dressing rooms, no barrier between the performer and the audience. The SWH Music in the Garden series is more like being one-step-closer to the way music was intended- an artist traveling from town to town, telling stories and making friends. Come check this out!
