Chrystyna Marie brings the grungy blues to Lucky Strike on 7/27

Like most versatile performers, singer-songwriter Chrystyna Marie has dabbled with different aspects of entertainment with steely determination. But music will always be what fires up her creativity. And through her own means, Marie has assembled a vast array of studio players for her upcoming EP, entitled Life, which takes on the rawer side of blues with a dollop of country charm. Lead single "I Want That Boom Boom" is as straightforward as they come, but also effective, a visceral slab of squealing guitars that offers no apologies.

Marie is celebrating Life with a release party at Lucky Strike on July 27.
