Chrissie Hart

Join us to celebrate the release of the debut EP 'No Birthday' at Backbeat Bar. Starting off solo, Chrissie Hart will lure you in with jazzy, soulful, lyrical piano and vocals. Inviting the band members (Joel Vinsen, Hannah de Koster and Jo Shum) to liven things up, the EP will jump to life mixing things up with catchy tunes with an alternative spin.

Following her collaboration with ‘Yolanda Be Cool’ on the album ‘Ladies & Mentalmen’ in 2012, Chrissie Hart’s debut EP ‘No Birthday’ depicts worldy experiences in the form of alternative, jazzy pop-rock.

This Auckland singer-songwriter traversed the globe for many years as a professional pianist/singer on cruise lines in the Caribbean and in 5-star hotels in China and Japan. Travels, life lessons, observations and sticky situations are condensed into memorable songs for your listening pleasure. Chrissie Hart’s debut EP ‘No Birthday’ pays tribute to growing up and finding yourself by staying young and original.

If you were to get hold of Chrissie Hart’s iPod classic, the click wheel scrolls through many alternative and popular piano-based artists such as Alicia Keys, Amanda Palmer, Ben Folds, Carole King, Elton John, Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor and Tori Amos.

Warming-up the night is the beautiful songstress Catherine Walker, performing as The Low Low.
