Cristin Cali, Junior Rail Transit, and JP Goldman

Cristin Cali is a singer and songwriter, whose voice has been described as a “…velvety balm for the soul,” and “…a soothing hot chocolate on a cold winter’s day.” Her dreamy, romantic lyrics and style are influenced by jazz legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. She is also influenced by the emotional depth and power of Otis Redding and Etta James. Though she currently lives in Providence, Rhode Island, you’ll likely find her performing at open mics in Boston. When you see Cristin perform, be prepared for a plethora of sparkles, warm humor, and stunning original tunes that sound like timeless classics.

“Junior Rail Transit combines meticulously formed lyrics with evocative melodies to create songs that reference a wide range of musical tastes, from a middle school obsession with Fall Out Boy and Radical Face to a more recent admiration for indie artists like Japanese Breakfast and Mitski. Their work is meant to resonate with audiences to create a sense of recognition, catharsis, and healing.”
