Christy OgilvieChristy Ogilvie is a Chicago singer and songwriter. Her CD, Akimbo, is an eclectic blend of jazz-influenced pop, funky gospel and a taste of folk music showcasing her intense, sexysweet sound. At venues in and around the city (Beat Kitchen, The Pump Room, 200 E. Supper Club, Martyr's, Abbey Pub, Tuscany and Gentry Cabaret to name a few), Christy fronts her own band as well as lending her voice to other acts. Christy has shared her high energy and charisma on many stages, including with private event bands such as the Chris Sarlas Orchestra. When Christy leads the band with husband, Kraig McCreary, the premier players of Chicago's rich live and studio music scene come along, creating a tasty groove audiences love: masterful, funky, responsive and always fun. Christy's voice has been described as "fresh and honest," "direct, untrendy" and "like Joni Mitchell and Bonnie Raitt." Her influences range from classic Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn to singer/songwriter masters such as Stevie Wonder and James Taylor.
