Album Notes

/"Southern Grace at a Northern Pace" /

Her voice is unmistakable: Delicate and haunting with surprising strength, it is filled with heartfelt emotion and subtle sweetness. Often compared to the vocal styles of Sarah McLachlan and Margo Timmons of the Cowboy Junkies, Kirsten Williams pairs her rich sound with sophisticated, intimate lyrics -- in contemporary acoustic songs that evoke her Kentucky roots as well as the urban life she now enjoys in New York City's vibrant East Village. Spinning detailed, in-depth stories of love and loss, Williams' poetic true-to-life tales take listeners on a musical journey they won't soon forget.

An active member of the Manhattan Songwriters Circle, Williams has been a mainstay on the New York City music scene for the past eight years, performing regularly with bassist Andrew Mattina in clubs around the city and throughout New York's metropolitan area. With four well-received albums already under her belt, Williams is currently hard at work on her fifth, titled "Yesterday's Waves."
