Chris Pureka is tagged as: folk, female vocalists, singer-songwriter, queer, female vocals |Recent accolades from BILLBOARD MAGAZINE and The New York Times and consistent touring have kept Chris Pureka in the public eye while she works on her 5th record, a full length due out in the fall of 2010. A rising songwriter from Western Massachusetts, Pureka has built a reputable name for herself in the 250-500 capacity rooms in the U.S with a relentless tour schedule and creative marketing strategies. For this indie-acoustic songstress with simple, heartfelt and vulnerable delivery, comparisons flow easily. Some recognize the poetry and grit of a young Bruce Springsteen or a troubled Ryan Adams. Others see shades of greats like Gillian Welch, Patty Griffin or Mary Gauthier. BILLBOARD MAGAZINE recently said of Pureka’s Official CMJ Showcase, “Pureka, another Billboard favorite, played to a packed room, summoning the spirits of Gillian Welch’s “Revelator” or Ryan Adams’ “Heartbreaker.” And break hearts she did. Her husky moan cradled her adoring fans and her funny between-song banter brought ‘em home.” Whatever the reference point, one thing remains certain: on her newest release, Chris Pureka has taken the unfettered, heart-on-your-sleeve approach she is known for and has delved even deeper into her calling as promising young troubadour.
