Christy Jefferson
The Indian Rock Bed and Breakfast Inn and Restaurant is proud to present a web-feature for our regular performers.
Christy Jefferson was born in rural Pennsylvania on June 5, 1980. From a young age, it was clear to her parents and teachers that Christy’s talent and interest in music would become a major part of her life. She began singing publicly in elementary school, and later learned to accompany herself of both piano and guitar. By middle school Christy was composing simple songs, and by high school she was adding original lyrical poetry to more sophisticated compositions.
In May 2002 Christy graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Music degree from Kutztown University. While her senior recital consisted of a difficult and varied operatic repertoire, Christy’s primary musical focus has been on a more contemporary folk music style. During college she performed scores of concerts at cafes, pubs, festivals and benefits, both as a member of various bands and as a solo artist. At the same time, her repertoire of original compositions grew to over two-dozen. She is currently focused primarily on launching her solo career, which is picking up speed at an impressive rate.
Artistically, Christy credits the likes of Counting Crows, Tori Amos and Billy Joel among her strongest musical and lyrical influences. Additionally, extensive travel both domestically and abroad brings a true cosmopolitan flavor to her compositions. Lyrical maturity well beyond her years, together with a sweet yet often haunting voice, have won her a growing following among urbane music listeners.
