Christin Hyshka is a Canadian folk roots singer songwriter with a unique voice and music that’s filled with grit and hope.  A heartfelt, honest, and fun-loving performer, his songs tell meaningful stories that mirror the experiences of his listeners lives.  
Christin was raised in rural Manitoba, where he grew up immersed in the music of Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Steve Earle, deeply influenced by the imagery these artists depict through their song writing. Music came naturally to him, and by the age of 13, he was already playing guitar and writing his own songs. Family gatherings often revolved around music, with uncles and aunts playing instruments and singing in harmonies perfected from Sunday choirs.  Now based in Edmonton, Alberta, Christin performs with his band, The Modern Sons, playing tracks from his debut album, *The First Word*, along with his latest release, *Rescue*.

Christin’s debut single Modern Sons started it all.  The song is an emotional depiction of what it means to grow up with the expectation of continuing the family farm only to follow your own path to the city and the heartbreak along the way.  This story was received by the rural community in a big way landing radio play and outstanding fan support for the music video.  It was then, that Christin realized people were listening and relating to the story’s written in his songs which propelled him to write more and more.

Modern Sons recently was named a top ten finalist in Canada’s Music in Motion song writing competition while another track off the debut album “Buy it all Baby” was chosen as a semi finalist in the Unsigned Only global song writing competition.

Christin also had the privilege to open for grammy winner John Reischman in 2023 during his sold-out show, at the New Moon Folk club.
