Krista Hartman

"Krista Hartman has captured the sound of the whole world in her music. That's due in part to her vast experience with travel and in part to her old-soul world view"

-FFWD,Calgary.***

"It's refreshing to hear an album that has folk influences without sounding whiny and contrived. Hartman wraps her stories up in a gritty reality and she doesn't bother to pull any punches"

-Vue Weekly, Edmonton.***

"There is absolutely no doubt that Krista Hartmans work needs to be discovered by someone in the majors, pronto. Her sandy voice carried so much emotion and energy at The Bluechair Cafe, it sent electric, tingling shivers up ones spinefrom the first lines of the majestic swirl of "Til The Air Comes Through" until the final notes of the lovesick "Tornado." The vocalists songs were majestic in a stripped-down way that took a step back from her record (the excellent Passport), revealing an artist deeply in command of her thoughts and emotions"

-SEE Magazine, Edmonton.***

"Hartman, a "dirty folk" singer/songwriter from Canada, is on the road with with a gentle voice that draws listeners in, she sings of infidelity, road trips, an overbearing father and the simple beauty of nature"

- San Antonio Express.***

"Krista’s Story telling style is classic in the sense of 60’s folk and folk rock tunes. She is able to touch that era and yet twist and turn the songs into a friendly modern feel while illuminating her life experiences. Those picturesque lyrics are the brush strokes that the listener follows to see the picture painted before their ears. Recommended if you like: Lee Hazlewood, Nancy Sinatra, Dar Williams, Cat Power"
