You may have noticed me making impromptu appearances at local clubs and churches to sing and perform solo as well as collecting footage and producing video to go along with some of my favorite songs. Whew!!
It's a full time labor of love and I have been enjoying every minute!
I am so grateful every day that I have been blessed with so much health, wealth, and vitality! All to do what I love!

Let me begin first by telling you a bit about
A MISS KRISTIN MAC ATTACK:

Bob Welch had a listen and stated:

"A Miss Kristin Mac Attack is Great; Very Imaginative, Interesting and New!" Now he gave me permission to share, and I must say he is an awesome fellow!
And I am so honored to have his thoughts and this awesome compliment.
It honestly was a major lift up for me in my journey of sharing music on this path of love for all the world to hear.

With songs written by Bob Welch, Christine McVie, Danny Kirwin, and Dave Walker, there's a new spin on old favorites from where they began for this great band in the seventies.

Young and old will enjoy the pop reggae style beats and the mesmerizing vocals and chants of Emmanuel Selassie as guest collaborator on this universal project. With old favorites like Emerald Eyes and Did You Ever Love Me, I'm croonin my way delightfully through
A Miss Kristin Mac Attack
with my own reggae style approach.

Produced and arranged by me, I'm singing lead and backing vocals, I do the drum programming and percussion, rhythm guitar for all songs (including 12 string guitar),
and keyboards for the entire collection.

Emmanuel Sellassie is guest featured vocalist (including chants) on Emerald Eyes, Did You Ever Love Me, Child Of Mine, and Bare Trees. Also The Derelict and Child Of Mine features Erick Thornton on Harp and once again I'm featuring the great Tom Landry on bass guitar for all songs.

It just went live on iTunes and I'm thrilled to be able to share it with you so please check it out and buy a copy today. You may listen to the whole collection on MySpace .
I believe this is a must have classic Miss Kristin collection.
So do not wait, get it today!

Now I was blessed to meet some wonderful folks in Jerome Arizona (which is about twenty minutes outside of Sedona) September ninth this 2009... (wooo) 9/9/2009
at The Spirit Room Open Mic/Jam night.

I set up the trustworthy camcorder and captured some unique footage, I hope all will enjoy.
I was meloncholly at the time and chose to do some down low songs...
Music can be a great release, huh? Watch the video here.

Then make sure you check out the new EASY STREET video I created via my journeys.
This is a real special vid I am really proud of. Watch it here .

And if you are really brave, wild and free, (like me) you will enjoy my video
JUNGLE LOVE
. Watch it here .

It pleases me to tell you I am about halfway through the next release titled "FREE" slated for a Spring 2010 release. This is a powerful collection that I believe sets the captive free!
Primarily ME! Of course I so live my music. My writing encompasses truth in my soul and spirit that promotes my healing as well as others. I give thanks to the Great Spirit Of the Creator for the blessing and honor, called to glory for His purpose.

Last thing I would like to mention is
A MISS KRISTIN CHRISTMAS.

so I do what I can quarterly.

Hands Full~ Radically Blessed !


I'm glad to meet new friends everywhere I go and online too....
It's always cool to hear where people are at with their musical tastes and desires.
Everyone is an artist in their way and I have great respect for individual creativity.

With such a plethora of new music coming out, it's challenging to keep up, but I will begin by saying one of my favorite collections is my new age album DESERT SEAS. I released this collection October 2008 and being a DIY artist, it has taken some time to get to promoting, and getting it out there, other than the usual myspace and radio station distribution. I am beginning to promote this bunch of songs more now all over the world via various outlets and it feels good. We are recieveing radio play and lots of great feedback.

I am in the process of releasing an early Fleetwood Mac cover album that is so very special too.
A MISS KRISTIN MAC ATTACK is this months release and I am preparing it to go up on iTunes, so you should be able to purchase by the holiday shopping rush. You may also purchase the music now directly from my website at http://misskristin.com and you may listen and buy A MISS KRISTIN MAC ATTACK by going to http://myspace.com/misskristinmacattack .

In June 2009, I released my patriotic collection MARCH ON. I spent the whole summer promoting and shipping the music to radio, doing my best to get it out there. It is always a busy time around my place of business, because I love what I do and it does not feel so much like work, but a good and great way of life.

One thing I can say about the larger amount of music to distribute is that is gets expensive and I live very frugally in order to pull it off! I do things myself like pedicures and haircuts, (I am a licensed hairdresser) and sometimes I barter for things I need. I find this helps me attain things that are extra expenses like iPods, hard drives, musical instruments, etc., so as to save money for the promotion of the music.

What I believe about being a DIY artist, is that the music propagates more gradually over time and has a lasting ability. So with these three releases, I will be extend for exposure over the next few years and then I believe they will go far by word of mouth, lasting long after I cross over to the other side of life.

So, like a music making machine of true love my intentions are to continue releasing my large catalog for the years to come. My next release FREE is in production and Lord willing I shall release it in the spring of 2010.

Please stay tuned into my music and listen on...I love to create and I do it all for you and the pleasure it brings me to give.

I am glad to make your acquaintance.

Hugs,

Miss Kristin
