About Celeste...
Celeste Starchild (and yes...that is her real name!) is known for her unforgettable lyrics and vocal talent. You can hear Celeste with her full band, Butter Sweet, or as a duo.
Celeste released her debut EP, "Time Release" (produced by Kevin Gutierrez at Assembly Line Studios) to a sold-out crowd in June 2007.
Past appearances include live performances on XM Radio’s U-Pop two weeks running, live radio performances on WRNR, a feature on the cable television show "American Music" hosted by rockabilly Hall of Fame-er Billy Hancock, and many live music venues including Iota, Jammin’ Java, Bangkok Blues, Iota, the National BBQ Battle, Dewey Beach Music Conference, and the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
