Singer/songwriter Christina Eltrevoog was born near the confluence of the Fox and Illinois Rivers in the last decade of the twentieth century, but is one many consider an "old soul". The seeds of spiritual and folk songs, popular and classical music planted in her early years have inspired original compositions that feed the souls of listeners throughout the US. Living part time in Illinois, part time in Oregon, and part time on the road in a 1997 Safari Trek, Christina is a collector of beauty and truth found in human stories and the natural world, pouring it back into the hearts of those who thirst.
