Christina Blust

Christina Blust is a singer-songwriter born in Northern Kentucky and currently residing in Terre Haute, Indiana. Accomplished at piano, guitar, accordion and the occasional tin whistle, tambourine or whatever else is lying around, Christina loves to write songs but hates writing biographies.
While a student at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, Christina received the prestigious "Ray of Hope" award in 2006 for her performance of two original songs in the show Voices for Change.*
"Blust . assumes an elegant, poised posture as she strums and begins to sing. Her voice sneaks out of the back of her throat and sounds like a precocious smile as the group attentively tap their feet."
-Jimmy Jenkins, Terre Haute Living, Fall 2009
"Christina Blust almost felt a sense of destiny last December when she decided to learn the accordion. 'It just kind of made sense to me,' said Blust. . The addition of accordion bits on her upcoming album — which she's recording in the southern Vigo County studios of Don Arney — sets Blust apart from her contemporaries."

"You've got this Lisa Loeb/Angelina Jolie thing going on, I dig that. And I used to sit alone in bars and write too, because I didn't have any communication skills either."
-Unfortunate guy at the bar after a gig
*"Prestigious" used rather loosely in this context, to describe a small piece of a 2x4, painted black, and written on with gold glitter marker. Sparkly.
