Christine Campbell
Eastern Lodge #8686 is happy to present Christine Campbell as part of the Eastern Passage Cow Bay Summer Carnival!
With a voice that combines the best elements of Anne Wilson, Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin, and a staggeringly awesome band (featuring Blake Johnston on guitar and vocals, Peter Davison on Drums, and Shaky White on bass), Christine Campbell is a mesmerizing musical force. It is not at all surprising that her ever-expanding, loyal fanbase helped to cement The Christine Campbell Band as the special guests of Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band in Halifax and Saint John in Nov 2014.
Christine is PEI-born, now Halifax-based. 2013 marked the heralded release of her debut Solo album; self-titled, the album is an acoustic, bluesy, stripped down affair, a departure from her Les Paul-wielding Stone Mary front-woman persona. "Christine Campbell"...the album...immediately garnered fantastic reviews. Three SRO CD releases followed, in NS, NB and PEI. She went on to receive standing ovations as the solo opener for Chantal Kreviazuk, and with her band as opener for Lou Gramm (formerly of Foreigner). Christine has also opened for Jann Arden, The Kentucky Headhunters, and Bif Naked, and shared the bills and/or stages with Tom Wilson (aka Lee Harvey Osmond), Tom Holland, July Talk, Jully Black, Charlie A'Court, Monster Truck, Rick Derringer, Ron Hynes, Dave Gunning, Lennie Gallant, Bruce Guthro and Matt Andersen (who sings a duet with C on the album)...among many others. She has blown away Festival crowds at StanFest, DutchFest, Lunenburg Folk Fest, Halifax Urban Folk Fest, PEI Jazz and Blues Fest, and Harmony Bazaar. Summer 2015 will feature C on the stages of the Cavendish Beach Music Festival and the Riverfront Jubilee!
As this concert is outside the show goes on rain or shine.
