Finding Love and Music

Finding Love and Music  Mission Road was formed in the summer of 2021 when vocalist Christina Alexander teamed up with keyboard player and songwriter Elliot Simon. The name comes from the street on which Christina was living at the time up on the mountain outside of Harpers Ferry, WV. The band is still based in Harpers Ferry and has joined forces with pedal steel/steel guitarist Chris Thompson, bassist Paulie Coconuts and drummer/percussionist Frank Perez. Mission Road's music is a mix of originals and covers and is country music with influences that include roots rock, blues and pop.  Mission Road released their first album, All I Want to Say in December of 2023. The album contains 13 tracks, 10 of which were written by Elliot. It is available on all major retail platforms. Mission Road has performed at dozens of local venues as a duo, trio and full band. In addition, both Christina and Elliot come from musical families. Christina's grandfather was a professional organist and recording artist.   Elliot's mother was a professional singer who gave it up to raise a family. Elliot's father was a songwriter with top 40 hits recorded by Nat King Cole and Brook Benton.
