Christy Wessler began her folk singing career in New York in the late 1960s. She married in 1975 and put her career on hold to raise four children. In 1985 she moved to Colorado and joined a community choir just to be able to “sing something somewhere.” It was at this time that she began to study classical voice, for six years.
In 1995 Wessler decided that she missed the beautiful simplicity of folk music, so with a rented guitar in hand, she headed for the coffee houses. She began writing and recording and has three CDs to her credit.
Christy Wessler is one of the most sought-after vocal instructors at Swallow Hill and also serves as a member of the Board of Directors.
