About Christine McHoes

I'm a wife, Mom, singer/songwriter & collaborator
.....Delivering a variety of flavors from smooth jazz to adult contemporary, intermixed with some tasty blues and a touch of country.

Christine expressively sings with her heart on her sleeve, from Scolding to the affectionate Love song.
Music and the creative process is her passion. Christine McHoes aka Miss Chrissy dove into her music career at a very young age back in Minnesota. She inherited her musical genes from the 'ladies' of the family with an emphasis on voice and piano. In her latter years, she discovered her dad was a secret singer and grandfather was a fiddler that gave it up to be a family man. Who knew??
She began her first hitch as lead vocalist of The Mark Larson Trio out of Minnesota. It was there she cut her eye teeth on the coat tails of Big Band/Swing & Crooner Giants of the 40's,50's & 60's.
While still in Minnesota, she fronted as lead vocalist/keys and percussionist with a few local popular bands before breaking out and touring with a Minneapolis based show-band throughout the mid-west.
In early '82, Christine moved to Alaska to spread her wings and taste different waters. It was here she joined and fronted Locomotion, a continually evolving band for almost 7 years, with the latter years focused on Pop/Rock/Funk.
They released one album entitled Locomotion "First Run" and enjoyed local success with radio play & a dedicated following.

After a long family break from the industry, Christine began writing and recording her Contemporary Christian music before branching out into her other favorite genre of smooth jazz.
In 2011, she recorded and released her first solo album entitled 'Wash Me Away' with collaborations from various artists from the (expired link). and around the world.
Christine's music has gained popularity world-wide with the advent of the internet age and she's been interviewed in the UK, Trinidad's 4 U Wii Live, New Jersey DrCal Show, and locally, in Alaska by The Mike Porcaro Show of 650 KENI am radio.

Christine's new album Time to Fly will be released summer of 2016..
