Curved Air\'s current line-up features three original members - the pioneering rock violinist, Darryl Way, with drummer Florian Pilkington-Miksa plus new members Andy Christie on Guitar and Chris Harris on Bass - and of course iconic vocalist Sonja Kristina.
Sonja\'s extravagant and flamboyant stage presence led to her being nicknamed at one point, \'the female Jagger\'. The first female lead singer of a rock band in the UK she blazed the way for bold rock icons from Siouxie Sue to Amy Winehouse. She was regularly voted \'Top British Female Vocalist\' in music weekly annual polls and has lived the rock life to the full, with all the trappings and pitfalls that life as a female rock star entails. Her ex husband, drummer Stewart Copeland, is the whirlwind energy that drives The Police. During their sixteen year relationship, Sonja\'s artistic explorations and Stewart\'s megastardom catapulted them both into fantastic adventures on and off the road. Sonja has toured and released a series of critically acclaimed albums over the decades. Her latest recordings are collaborations with Marvin Ayres, the respected left-field composer and producer.
Darryl Way has written operas and TV soundtracks and released albums of classical and rock compositions as well as being in demand as a top orchestrator and arranger. Sonja Kristina , Darryl Way and the other Curved Air members are thrilling audiences as they revisit the Curved Air favorites and new compositions from the perspective of the present moment.
