Christa has a unique and soulful voice that has been carefully crafted to encapsulate both soaring belts and tender melodies within her wide vocal range. Her songwriting is unique yet accessible to a large variety of people young and old. The feel of this talented woman’s songs engage the listener and suggest variety of influence and style and in the array of ways she uses her beautiful voice. Some songs build slowly and progress from soft to strong and back again or come out hitting until they let up at just the right time.

Christa is a joy to listen to on her band Christa Says Yay’s recent debut album “Monster Love Machine”, and she and her band are as equally talented and engaging live as they are on the songs within this gem of an album.

The Band:
Christa Kae: (Dagobah, Wileyeye, Dirty Nickel)
Christa writes the songs and lyrics, plays rhythm guitar. She is the front woman and driving force of this amazing project. See more above…

Austin Rood: (Gypsy Cab, Martian Finishing School)
Austin is an incredible and charismatic bass player. Not only does he compose his own delicious bass lines and play them like butter, but he also puts on his “keyboard hat” and played the Rhodes, Organ, Synth on some songs on the album.

Jenny Pitzen: (Gypsy Cab, Martian Finishing School)
Jenny is the talented lead guitarist who writes her own wicked licks, hooks, and complementary rhythm parts. She plays on the album and in the band with her blues/alternative rock style.

Rey Guajardo: (The Sun-Ups, The Break Up, The Heels)
Rey is our super-tight, diverse, and totally bad-ass professional drummer. He not only played the drums on the album, but he also did all other percussion. His in the pocket energy helps the music groove and move with a solid and strong foundation.
