About Christine Lavin
Hometown

Born
January 2, 1952
Genre
Singer/Songwriter
Christine Lavin emerged out of the crowded New York City songwriter scene of the '80s with a style that distinguished her from her peers. First of all, her songs were overwhelmingly concerned with contemporary romantic mores. Second, while her takes on the subject could sometimes be sentimental or maudlin, more often they were humorous: "If You Need Space, Go to Utah" was the first track on her first recording from 1983. By 1984, Lavin had managed to release her first full-length album, Future Fossils, which included both her serious and comic numbers, notably "Damaged Goods" and "Don't Ever Call Your Sweetheart by His Name." Lavin has recorded regularly and touring extensively to build a wide following. A live LP, 1998's One Wild Night in Concert, remains one of the best introductions.
