"As songwriters, Winn and Bissinger have a great feeling for the inner connection between lyrics and melody". Gabriel Fehrenbach, Suddeutsche Zeitung

Following up their debut CD "Further Away From Here" this album showcases an expanded band including Christie Winn - vocals, piano, wurlitzer and melodica, Steve Bissinger - guitar and lap steel, Joe Cohen - alto sax, Joel Behrman - trombone, Joseph Hérbert - cello, Geoff Brennan, David Ewell and Daniel Fabricant - acoustic bass and Jim Bove and Eric Garland - drums. Featuring twelve new original compositions by Winn and Bissinger as well as covers by Marvin Gaye and Caetano Veloso "Closer To Home" steers The Lowdowns in some new directions, exploring latin, pop and jazz ballads while not completely leaving behind the amercana/jazz fusion of their first CD. https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/lowdowns2

Vocalist/Pianist Christie Winn switches gears on her latest release, ʻCʼest Magnifiqueʼ, her first truly solo endeavor without the support of her band, ʻThe Lowdownsʼ. While her former recordings highlight her songwriting, this new release is comprised of jazz standards from around the globe. The minimalistic treatments of these classics conjure an intimate feel, allowing Winnʼs smoky vocal stylings to be in the spotlight. Accompanied only by Joe Kyle on bass and herself on piano (and occasionally melodica), Christie Winn sings her way to your heart, imbuing each phrase with pure emotion. Be it sadness or joy, Winn explores the depths on ʻCʼest Magnifiqueʼ.
