Chrissi Poland

A true soul singer at heart, Chrissi is known for both silencing a room and bringing that room of listeners to their feet with her transcendent vocal ability and deep connection to the music she is delivering. On her new album FOREVER MUSCLE SHOALS, Chrissi shines a light on the music recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in the late 60’s/early 70’s including the songs of Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Bob Dylan, The Rollings Stones, Cher and more. Having worked with many of the icons that recorded during this era in Muscle Shoals, her captivating stories of how this music has influenced Chrissi add another intoxicating layer to her live performance.

Home to Fame Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound, Chrissi has immersed herself in this sacred place of American music to bring forth what will surely be the most defining album of her career thus far. With production by Jay Tooke (the Steel Woods) and a backing band featuring Muscle Shoals legends Kelvin Holly (FAME Gang, Little Richard), Jimbo Hart (Jason Isbell), as well as some surprise guest vocalists, this collection of classic music combined with Chrissi’s power will stop listeners in their tracks.

Acclaimed vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Chrissi Poland has toured throughout the world and has performed on stage, television, and in the studio with a long list artists and legends including Hozier, Bonnie Raitt, Graham Nash, Lady Gaga, Nile Rodgers, Mavis Staples, Chaka Khan, Michael Bolton, Chris Botti, Sting, Moby, Scissor Sisters, Smokey Robinson, Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, Toto, Sheryl Crow, Michael McDonald, Dave Matthews, and the legendary Stax "Soul Man" Sam Moore (formerly of Sam & Dave).
