BIOGRAPHY Since her debut CD Devil’s Paradise was released in January of 2007, Christy Clayton has been on a rocket ride. After multiple sold-out shows including a sold-out CD release party at Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar in Las Vegas, Christy was awarded the prestigious Best of Las Vegas award for Favorite Local Country Band by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. She has since toured her home state of Texas, including a radio tour of the state’s number one morning shows. Radio play of her single “See You in the Morning” is spreading like wildfire throughout Texas and Oklahoma.
Christy’s song “Long Way From Home” was selected from thousands of entries to be included on a Support the Arts compilation CD. Sponsored by Music for Troops, the CD has been sent to thousands of US troops stationed overseas.
Devil’s Paradise, which has been categorized as everything from Alternative Country to Red Dirt to Hot AC to Blues, has received some outstanding reviews. Here are a few excerpts: “This record is like nothing I’ve heard before - it can’t be pigeon-holed into rock, blues or country. And Christy’s voice is a talent I haven’t come across – one minute it’s soaring and soothing, and the next it hammers you down with raw emotion. The production value and musicianship are untouchable. You definitely have an instant fan in me.” --Brad Austin, Program Director, KLUR (Wichita Falls, TX)
“Christy Clayton has struck gold, maybe even platinum with ‘Devils Paradise!’ Refreshing vocal style, and a smile as big as Texas, makes Christy a new voice to be heard and Greg Stricklin’s excellent production and a cast of tight contributors make ‘Devil’s Paradise’ a top choice for 2007.” --Big G, Host of Big G’s Road Show, KRVL (Kerrville, TX)
“The no frills, raw sound of Christy Clayton's debut album, "Devil's Paradise" takes Country music into new territory. Greg Stricklin kept the production stripped down so you believe the band actually played it all in one take. It adds an energy to every single track. If you like your Country music sweetened with LA music executive's sugar cubes or coated with New York money men's coffee-table Country choruses, you WON'T like this superb album. If you like your Country on the rebel edge, you'll love it.” --John Lewis, Coquet-Shack.com (ENGLAND)
Christy’s ever-increasing fan base has catapulted her to the top of every Myspace music category including Texas Americana, Texas Southern Rock, Texas Country, as well as Americana, Southern Rock and Country overall. Her Myspace page is averaging between 3,000 and 3,500 new plays a day.
A busy summer and fall show and festival schedule is in the works. Look for Christy Clayton with Cross Canadian Ragweed this August in Vegas!
