Christa Joy and Michael Stephens joined me for a “joy”ful in-studio performance on Nine Volt Heart. Our wide-ranging conversation includes a healthy dose of tunes from her upcoming album, “Get on,Heart”. We talk about the evolution of her sound over her three releases. Christa delves into her personal history documenting the heartbreak and joy behind these songs. Our session includes cuts from her new disc along with three live versions. Included are “Get On, Heart”, “Honey Bee”, “Ready or Not”,”You Don’t Know”, “On the Shunpike”, “She’s Enough”, and “You’re Not There”.

The commentary is honest and in-depth throughout. Give it a listen.

Christa Joy and the Honey Bees CD release shows are 6/23 at The Parlor Room and 6/27 at Dream Away Lodge. Catch them if you can.
