Chrissi Poland

Every now and then a voice comes along that is so powerful, so transfixing, it will silence the room and vibrate through your body in a way that lets you know you are witnessing something special. This is what happens when Chrissi Poland takes the stage. She has been touted as "equal parts Aretha Franklin and Carole King, with a touch of Prince". Stax Records soul legend Sam Moore has exclaimed of Chrissi, "Now this is a girl you gotta hear!". Stacey Anderson of the New York Times has simply said of Ms. Poland: "Sheer ferocity."
