Christina Van Norman - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Sometime in the murky past, aliens abandoned Christina Van Norman on planet Earth in the Washington D. C. area where she was soon adopted and raised by a pack of wolves or possibly some corrupt government officials. She has been singing since her first breath when the doctor whacked her on the bottom and hasnt stopped since. It was a difficult childhood but she credits it with giving her a distinctive sound that has been described as indescribable sounds that leave one speechless and audiences always wanting more. She has toured extensively throughout Borneo, Antarctica, and Spitzbergen. When not on the road, she spends her time at her homes in Laytonsville, Gaithersburg, and Woodbine where she runs a lucrative Naugahyde farming operation. She enjoys writing songs about the rain, her dogs, love, conspiracy, and the miserable state of the world because she has nothing else to do with her time. Her last snidely acclaimed album, Communion, released in 1994, went aluminum and she is quite confident the next will go plastic. She is currently in the studio working on a new album to be released into the wild this summer. Past bands include the Beetles, The Mostly Naked Ladies, The Rolling Pebbles, Nearvana, and The Medium Hot Chili Peppers.

rant of the night

The wall comes down

Last Sunday my kitchen wall came down. It was not unprovoked. It had provoked me silently, still-ly, for years. I hated it and it knew it. It stood firm and defiant. You see, I'm restoring an old hous...
