MARITIME COWBOY

After a 30-day public street performance experiment in NYC, and a chance encounter that caught the ear of GRAMMY-winning producer, Malcolm Burn, Christine de Michele wrote and recorded her first full-length collection.

A nod to any woman who has reordered her life to captain her own ship. The album’s story unfolds just before that turning point - but in a series of responses and reflections on an important encounter with an enduring connection. Maritime Cowboy is the man who offers a mirror to the adventure and freedom she will soon possess - but can she keep her wits (and her heart) as she crosses the line?

“When she sings, it’s like the whole universe is speaking to all of us.”
— Dr. Evelyn Lindler, Nominee, Nobel Peace PrizE
“I love this soul-touching record.”
— Vinny Rich, Sony Music
“It’s such a big undertaking to make an album of original music an her record sounds fabulous!”
— Kristin Slipp, Vocalist, The Dirty Projectors, MMeadows
“There’s a mystic poet sort of wisdom in her voice that makes music like this, in my mind, timeless.”
— Andrew Marotta, Bensonhurst Review
