Christina Courtin's California concert schedule continues this week with a performance at Café du Nord in San Francisco tomorrow night and a third and final performance at Largo in Los Angeles, where she played each of the past two Thursdays at the Little Room and where she'll join Grant Lee Phillips at the Largo's Coronet Theater this Thursday.

In a review of Christina's recently released, self-titled Nonesuch debut on Pop Matters, Stuart Henderson describes the singer as "fearless, profound, and musically fascinating" and her "impressive" new album as "unlike anything else I have heard this year ... Lyrically precocious, and musically varied, Courtin presents herself as a chameleon, shifting through varied terrain from jazz to folk to country to pop and back again."

For the recording, Courtin and her co-producers Greg Cohen and Ryan Scott assembled a band that includes Cohen Scott, Benmont Tench, Jim Keltner, Greg Leisz, Marc Ribot, Rob Burger, and Jon Brion—collectively creating "arguably the most ridiculously accomplished band to play on a debut record I have ever seen," Henderson enthuses. "It reads like one of those lists you scrawl at the bar when you’re playing that game where you make up the ultimate supergroup."

Henderson goes on to list a number of "standout tracks," and after struggling to find an apt comparison for Christina's work and first suggesting artists like Regina Spektor, Norah Jones, and Natalie Merchant, settles on Joni Mitchell's work from the early 1970s.
