Kristy Hanson
With a fresh blend of original, jazz-tinged acoustic music and a
powerful voice, 2004 University of Michigan grad Kristy Hanson is an
unforgettable performer and songwriter. She has charmed audiences all
over the country with her performances full of warmth and honesty,
making loyal fans wherever she goes.
Kristy has performed across the country at such well-known listening
rooms as L.A.'s Knitting Factory and Chicago's Uncommon Ground, and
has
been featured on several radio shows, including Mitch Albom's
nationally
syndicated show out of Detroit.
Her two independently released
albums--released while she was still attending the U of M--have been
enjoyed by fans all over the world and have won raves from Midwest
and
on-line magazines:
"One listen to this disc would send most modern
pop
divas out looking for voice lessons," raves Sarah Byrne about
Kristy's
recent EP, "She's Been Waiting."
Recently, Kristy was second runner-up in Michigan's "World Series of
Rock," performed at Grand Rapids' Blues on the Mall festival, and was
featured at a showcase at the Midwest Music Summit in Indianapolis. A
proudly independent female artist, she helped book, promoted and

Los Angeles, Kristy is booking shows and helping host showcases for
songwriters through the Songsalive! organization and will soon be
