Kris Delmhorst

Kris Delmhorst is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, who has made a significant impact on the indie folk and Americana music scenes with her evocative lyrics, warm voice, and skillful musicianship. She began her journey in music after moving to Boston, where she became part of the thriving folk scene, and over the years, her work has earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.

Delmhorst's discography reflects her versatility and depth as an artist. With albums like "Shotgun Singer" (2008), which showcases her ability to blend atmospheric production with intimate songwriting, and "Blood Test" (2014), a return to a more stripped-down, acoustic sound, Delmhorst demonstrates her talent for evolving while staying true to her core musical sensibilities. Her 2017 project "The Wild," along with its companion EP, "The Wild - Outtakes," reveal a songwriter who is unafraid of exploring emotional landscapes and pushing boundaries. Her more recent works, including "Long Day in the Milky Way" (2020) and the hopeful tune "Light Breaks Through," continue to build her reputation as a craftsman of thoughtful, resonant music. Delmhorst's artistry weaves together themes of nature, human connection, and self-reflection, creating a tapestry of songs that resonate with listeners long after the final note has been played.
