Jazz is ‘Real’: EP out soon from alum Cristina Tad by BY DYLON WALKER, STAFF WRITER, ON DECEMBER 1, 201
Belmont alumna Cristina Taddonio is the pop/ jazz scene’s newest sensation. Her performance at Gallery F, a cozy little place on the corner of Grand & 19th Avenue South that features contemporary & outsider art, was an outstanding display of her talents. Taddonio, who was recently named the Foreign Language Acting Group’s Artist of the Year, performed a wide array of songs, including some from her upcoming EP. Taddonio was born in Nepal and was raised in Italy—with stops in India and Israel along the way. She moved to the United States at age 15. “I didn’t speak any English at all,” she said when asked about adjusting. “Integrating into American culture is difficult.” But she worked at it, graduating from Belmont University with a bachelor’s degree in commercial music and composition. “Belmont gave me the confidence to be a better writer and singer,” she said. Taddonio has been hard at work on her upcoming eight-song EP release, “Real.” “I was looking for a song that was an image statement for me,” Taddonio said about the title track. “Real” is a jazzy soulful piece that is meant to draw in the listener. Like many of Taddonio’s songs, “Real” portrays her maturity and grasp of the emotions we all face on a day-to-day basis. With an upcoming EP release and many tour dates, Cristina Taddonio is well on her way to becoming a success in the music industry.

Cristina Taddonio Hard Rock Cafe, Nashville TN by music connection Jess Pierce club reviews
Contact: cri777@yahoo.com, 615-245-9964 Web: cristinataddonio.com AMP Username: cri777 The Players: Cristina Taddonio, vocals, keys; Reed Pittman, keys; Caleb Mundy, bass; Ricky Perry, guitar; Jared Whitaker, drums. Material: Here’s an artist who likes to hit the stage with her band and sit down at the keys with a smile. She has a few songs that could be described as simple jazz influenced pop, such as “Lost for You,” while showing her vocal power on “Cry,” evoking Aretha Franklin like vocals with dead accuracy. Most of this performer’s songs give an upbeat, optimistic impression, even through some of her more heartfelt songs. Musicianship: Taddonio sur- rounds herself with pro players, but at times it seems the music could use a little more flair. Specifically, the Sara Bareilles style piano chords can become tiring to the ear. Adding contrast, guitarist Perry at times busts through with colorful solos that reenergize the songs, not letting them sink to the realm of “just another predictable radio tune.” Taddonio mainly plays keys but shows diversity by switching to guitar during “Floating Fire.” Performance: The performance was a good fit with the Friday night cocktail crowd, but the audience didn’t treat her as mere background music; they responded to the artist’s entertaining edge. The first tune Taddonio and company performed mirrored the opening of a lighthearted sit-com, with simple chords and descriptive lyrics. At a glance, it appeared the singer was playing to a venue full of buddies, but this was simply the result of the warm, welcoming vibe generated by the artist and her band. Between songs, Taddonio chatted about the meaning behind her lyrics in a way that allowed listeners to feel a connection to each song. The band showed a charm and class that wouldn’t quite fit in the bar scene and it was clear they chose the Hard Rock Café carefully. Summary: Upon first listen, one might compare Cristina Taddonio to similar-sounding female vocalists on the radio. But it would be a mistake to be lulled by her sweet demeanor and innocent voice. Vocally, this artist has a powerful edge that pops through when you least expect it, and a keen commercial ear when it comes to songwriting. ––Jess Pierce Cristina Taddonio: Keen songwriting skills with a powerful edge.
