Artistry in a league of its own

Kristen Cothron is a gifted singer/songwriter/musician. She combines innate smooth vocal styling and urban jazz rhythms to make music that is both innovative and intelligent. Her voice, like her songs, is full of irony and authentic emotion. Creating a genre that is original and entirely her own - Kristen takes artistry to a whole new level.

Vocally she has been influenced by Judy Garland, Billie Holiday, Patsy Cline and Sarah Vaughn. She admires the writing styles of Elvis Costello, Lou Reed, and Sheryl Crow. Although young by measure of years, Kristen emits the soul of a veteran musician through her music, lyrics, and performance.

In 2002, Kristen worked on a project with genius producer and arranger Andy Behrens, who in a fit of creativity threw sticks on the ground and dropped pebbles in a bucket of water, all in the name of rhythm. These revolutionary tracks (The Space, Moment in the Moon, and Before You Begin) capture the avant garde jazz tendencies in her music, creating a style, that is inventive yet nostalgic. This new production conjures up images of Roberta Flack, Diana Krall, and Norah Jones.

Recently, Kristen has been writing and recording in Nashville with Buffalo native, Phil Dillon. The products of their endeavors show Kristen's music in a new light. Songs like Your Love, High on the Blues, and A World Apart are lyrically insightful and musically indulgent.
