We have been working with Chrissi for many years playing her music in Caffe Nero and with Chrissi appearing live on Caffe Nero stages. So to celebrate her brilliant new album, FOREVER MUSCLE SHOALS, we are playing tracks from the album every day at 15.30 in all stores across the UK and beyond.
On this album 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 working 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.
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, Lady Gaga, Bette Midler, 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). Known for her electrifying and captivating live performances, Chrissi has taken the stage at some of the most iconic venues in the world, including The Hollywood Bowl, The Acropolis, Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, Madison Square Garden and The Beacon Theatre in New York just to name a few.
