It’ll Be Alright! Win Christina Martin’s Travel Essentials (Giveaway)

Halifax-based singer-songwriter Christina Martin releases her new album, It’ll Be Alright, on Tuesday, February 24 (Come Undone Records/Fontana North). Produced by her longtime collaborator Dale Murray, the album finds Martin building on her already stellar reputation within the Americana field with a more dynamic sonic approach. According to pop wunderkind Rich Aucoin, It’ll Be Alright “feels like I’m listening to Stevie Nicks filtered through the modern production and energy of an indie guitar toting powerhouse band like Phoenix or Spoon.”

Christina tours Canada a lot and is about to head to Europe on tour, so she is a seasoned traveller when it comes to her career and life. Here is the list of Christina MUST HAVE travel essentials for when she is on tour:

1. TRAVELO Perfume Spray
“I finally grew up and became a woman when I purchased my first real perfume (La Vie Est Belle Lancome) and immediately purchased this Classic Excel Travalo to bring my perfume with me on flights and when I’m on tour. Love this!”

2. Lancôme Absolu Voyage Complete Make-Up Palette
“I find it really annoying traveling with dozens of loose makeup containers and brushes. When I discovered this Lancôme travel palette at the Euro Tunnel shop I was in heaven. This has everything I need to put on a simple or more glam face.”

3. Jabra Solemate Mini
“This is a fun speaker to bring on tour and connect tunes via bluetooth from my iPhone in any room, or outdoor location! This was particularly useful recently when making a music video for our current single “It’ll Be Alright” and we needed playback of the song in multiple locations.”

4. Book- Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior
“I’m not rigid in any spiritual or religious practice, but I do carry this book with me when I travel to help keep me in check, along with my prayer beads and a mini statue of Ganesh for when I can make time en route to breath/chant/meditate.”

5. Gaiam Super Grippy Yoga Gloves
“When I can’t bring my yoga mat with me in the tour van, I throw my Gaiam Yoga Gloves in my travel bag and I’m set to practice in any hotel or dressing room!”

6. Moleskine Volant Notebook, Extra Small
“Much of my writing happens with a pencil in my small notebooks while I am in transit and away from the distraction of my desk. Stories from the road about love and loss, perseverance when faced with adversity, and meeting new and interesting people inspires me to write.”

7. Glacéau Vitaminwater
“Touring can be very demanding and exhausting, so I have to really stay hydrated when I travel in order to keep my voice in shape for every gig. I love Glacéau Vitaminwater, particularly lemonade, to have with me at all time.”

8. Luckybrand Charlie Jeans
“I am obsessed with Low-Rise Charlie Skinny jeans! They are perfectly comfortable for travel, casual nights, rock nights, and whatever nights! Since I am so bloody short, I find it hard to find the perfect fit for a jean, and the Charlie Jeans at Luckybrand always fit great!”

9. Airstep Boot
“I bought this pair of boots in Munich on my last tour. They are great for being on my feet all day in rehearsals, running in airports to catch the next flight, and they basically adapt to the shape of my feet and feel like slippers. Plus, they look cool!”

10. Gaiam Metro Gym Bag
“Last but not least, I can fit my entire collection of favorite things listed above in my Metro Gym Bag while traveling! This holds my iPhone, my snacks, yoga mat, and my favorite things in a perfect carry-on size bag.”
