Crystalena - Encore broadcast

With the fiery rock spirit of Heart’s, Nancy Wilson, and the timeless soul of Etta James, Crystalena’s music moves and soothes in a way that only truth can. Blooming from a young age to records of Sade, lovers of ethereal piano soundscapes can hear her highlight melodies with entrancing and haunting vocal storms. While authentically sewing her sound together with purpose and passion, Crystalena’s slow burning lyricism ranges in subject matters from complex social justice issues, to the intimate and emotional workings of the human heart.

Tune in on RogersTV Channel 22 (cable & free streaming) to watch this performance.
