Alistair Christl and the Swingin’ Chandeliers is a powerhouse roots/country/rockabilly trio the likes of which you ain’t ever seen. Fingerpicking Chet Atkins style licks on a ’63 Gibson Hollowbody and cranking out 50’s hillbilly inspired vocals Alistair’s music is a lightning-paced salute to all things vigorous genuine, and sporadically disastrous in music. With Rachel Melas (Bass) and Conny Nowe (drums) of much-admired Cajun act Swamparella, Alistair Christl and the Swingin’ Chandeliers are not to be missed.
A new twist on old music Alistair has taken him from busking on the streets of Canada the UK and Ireland to the clubs and bars of Canada and the US. He has done much as an accompanist playing the New England and Owen Sound folk festivals and has recorded on several CDs having Living Tradition Magazine note that “[Alistair] joins with guitar and harmony in a way that suggests that there are some mighty singing sessions in this House of Song” and had Sing Out magazine remark that “[Alistair’s] instrumental accompaniment flawlessly compliments each song”.
Recently completing a promotional cross-Canada tour with longtime girlfriend and burlesque performer Tanya Cheex Alistair is now releasing his debut CD Unmarked Grave – an 11 track spin through roots-motivated guitar-propelled originals.
Alistair lives works and plays in and out of the greater Toronto Area.
