Bio
Christy Costello is a mover and a shaker in the Twin Cities Music Scene. She's a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, disc jockey, talent buyer, promoter, mother and yogi. Hailing from the Iron Range of Northern Minnesota, she is no stranger to the great outdoors. Her music blends the ferocity and rawness of nature’s elements, the new and exciting energy of a house show, mixed with the adrenaline rush of an all-night downtown disco. Her first-rate songwriting has been showcased in previous bands like Pink Mink and Ouija Radio, as well as her raw and unforgettable stage performances in Monica LaPlante (currently on bass/backing vocals), Butchers Union (past, guitar/vocals), The Von Bondies (past guitar/backing vocals) and Extraterrestrials (currently backing vocals, hype girl and uitlities) .
Christy stepped up to the front this year by writing, producing and releasing her first solo full length record called 'From the Dark'. It was released in February of 2024. She has begun to play it live regionally in the Mid-West and has plans to tour it more throughout the rest of 2024 into 2025.
