On Friday, January 16, 2026 Two Way Street Coffee House Friday Night Concert Series presents Christina Eltrevoog.

Christina Eltrevoog was born in the last decade of the twentieth century, near the confluence of the Fox and Illinois Rivers. The seeds of spiritual songs, folk, and classical music planted in her early years have grown to feed the souls of listeners throughout the US. Currently living part time in Illinois, part time in Oregon, and part time on the road in a ‘97 Safari Trek, Christina is a collector of beauty and truth found in human stories and the natural world, pouring it back into the hearts of those with a hunger for the genuine.

Christina’s musical travels began in 2017, touring and recording with longtime friend-turnedbandmate Matthew Pittman, as the duo MMCM (Matthew Michael & Christina Marie). The pair shared the stage with The Wildwoods, Ordinary Elephant, Chicago Farmer, and many other fine songwriters and musicians.

In July 2020, MMCM released a debut EP In Between, an ethereal folk piece, offering an arc of contemplation on hope for the ideal, angst of the actual, and peace found in presence. In December 2021, Christina released via Dutch Records her first solo recordings – a Christmas EP of electric guitar and voice titled Incarnation, in loving memory of her father, who first introduced her to the guitar.

In 2022, Christina Eltrevoog and songwriter TM Shaw of Eugene, OR began a musical project BEYOND the STARS. They released a 7-song album One Planet released in 2024, followed by concerts in the Midwest, Pacific Northwest, Southeast, and Hawaii. A number of original solo releases anticipate meeting the ears of listeners in 2026. When in Illinois, Christina performs solo, in duo format with BEYOND the STARS, as well as with roots-rock Americana outfit The Belle Rangers, female folk trio The Morning Larks, and hosts Fresh from the Midwest—a new music festival of Midwestern songwriters the first weekend after Labor Day at Illini State Park in Marseilles, IL.

If you can’t join us in person, you can still tune in virtually to catch the show!  Make your donation HERE to Christina.  Visit www.twowaystreet.org for more information.
