"I'm performing the same day as the royal wedding, so it will be a very nice relaxed after-party atmosphere where everyone will be able to kick back with a warming beverage and savor the residual smiles that we'll all be wearing from the events of a beautiful day!"
Jefferson is currently promoting her most recent release, "Spring". It is part of a very unique recording project that she has embarked on this year; on the first day of each season, Christy is releasing a new EP as a FREE Digital Download from her web site: www.christyjefferson.com "Spring" is the first of four installments and will be up until June 21st, which is when "Summer" will take it's place.
