Miss Kristin in the pink with “A Miss Kristin Mac Attack” and “Free”, available worldwide March 2010

It is tempting to assume an association between Kristin’s two latest releases; “A Miss Kristin Mac Attack” and “Free”, with two distinctive covers that appear “in the pink”.

Enlisting the help of childlike artistic talent Alison “Dizz” Daniel, “A Miss Kristin Mac Attack” and “Free” display Kristin’s unique approach to music, inviting those who discover her works, to come hither and listen. The color pink has meaning of its own referring to, in perfect condition especially of health. “The earliest citations of 'in the pink' are from the 16th century and, at that time, the meaning was 'the very pinnacle of something', but not necessarily limited to health.

Listening to Kristin’s music, it would be safe to say this persistent woman is on to something smart, and pink! Kristin’s style is individual like others who have gone before her. Great artists like, Sir Elton John, Neil Young, Tom Petty, and Stevie Nicks all having a presentation that upon first introduction had the power to magnetize or repel but eventually fall in love with. Kristin’s personal characteristic vocal fashion is similar.

“A Miss Kristin Mac Attack” is ten early Fleetwood Mac songs produced in a pop/reggae production that brings new life and relevance to Fleetwood Mac favorites of the seventies.
Kristin produced and arranged the entire collection playing most instruments and featuring the reggae elegance of artist Emmanuel Selassie as guest vocalist/instrumentalist. Kristin brings duets alongside solo masterpieces for both young and old to enjoy.

“Free” is Miss Kristin’s own personal journey through fear into strong hearted bravery.
Kristin sings with lyrical wisdom as a woman willing to lead a mighty army to happiness via today’s independent music world. Kristin again features the extraordinarily amazing guitars of Tom Landry for this collection surely not to be missed.

Both “A Miss Kristin Mac Attack” and “Free” are available digitally and physically, March 2010 via iTunes , Amazon.com, CDBaby and Digstation while Miss Kristin remains tickled pink to be free to make her expressive music.

Miss Kristin “In It To Win It” With Her New Music Release, “FREE” Available February 2010.

These days Miss Kristin is counting her blessings and thankfully crafting genuine uniqueness, as she creatively shines on her new music release “FREE”.

With "FREE" being her eleventh collection over the course of the last decade, Kristin has launched as a genre crossing, multi-talented, writer-composer, who truly enjoys what she is doing.

Better known as a Soft Rock /Triple AAA/ New Age Independent Artist, Kristin Pedderson (aka Miss Kristin) seems determined to demonstrate herself through perseverance in the music industry claiming, “Sometimes You Win”.

“FREE” is composed entirely by Kristin, and produced, with the help of the gifted Tom Landry as guitarist/bassist extraordinaire. Opening with the title track “Free”; Kristin asks her audience, “Who holds the chains, where does it bind you?” With powerful musicianship, “FREE” is a continuation in theme collections where the title track suggests an idea that is carried throughout the entire musical journey setting the mood for a grand adventure.

Miss Kristin continues her poetic crossing without reserve following the title track “Free” with a jazzy single, ”The Best Of Intentions” , in a sexy liberated devil may care moment. Kristin having survived her own level of oppression has the panache to reach her listeners as one who enjoys complete personal liberty. Kristin breaks her own rules with realism to love and appreciate.

A most interesting inclusion is the emotional Sentimental Journey where Kristin performs her own instruments in an epic passage through thought and emotion, reconciling past and present. Kristin’s entrancing empathetic stance confidently seems to seek those bound, calling them to her bold freedom.

Kristin spent her early years working as a hair stylist, while honing her true heart’s desire as a composer, producer, and performer. Kristin is no stranger to pretense and has had plenty of opportunity to consider people firsthand. She regularly assists with music for a local street ministry in San Jose, (her home town) and her real life experience, has given her compositions a compassionate edge.

Clear of obstructions, the first single to be released, “Sometimes You Win” sings, the second time around is the doosey, third time is the charm. Perhaps engaged in her gift, Kristin has stopped counting and is saying what really matters, is she keeps doing what she loves; making great original music.

Amazing Happens When We Least Expect It!

You never know what’s ahead, when you go by spirit anything and everything wonderful is possible!

Last summer I had a hankering to schedule a So Cal getaway, because it had been awhile since journeying south for an adventure. (Last time was 5 years ago I had a mini music tour with stops along the coast.) I wanted to go visit the place where my previous band mate/bass player and dear friend Dennis “Sox” Donovan, had drove his car off the cliff in Dana Point and took his life last March. I desired to go to the spot and send up some prayers in remembrance of him.

While I was meditating an old friend came to mind that I had known when I resided in Minneapolis Minnesota when I was 18 years young. I remembered he was originally from San Clemente and had moved to Minnesota to enjoy the lakes and people. I did an internet search and found him online.

I was lucky to surprise him and we had the most wonderful and blessed meeting. Now he had just suffered the loss of his father and his son within a month of each other and was really thrown a loop. So my timing was impeccable. This was no coincidence but a spirit thing.
I do believe the Lord’s hand at work here.

We visited at various times throughout the week and toward the end of the week, we got together for a lovely dinner at Adele’s in the San Clemente Inn. I was invited up to sing with the Frank Sinatra style band performing that Friday night. I had the Christmas spirit and so chose to sing my original songs, “The Time Of Our Lives” and “Santa On His Way” from A MISS KRISTIN CHRISTMAS. A great time was had by all.

We reminisced and more deeply rekindled an old friendship as well as making new friends with the locals. This was the hi-light of my journey although there were other blessings.

Monday night I sat in at THE GYPSY DEN and sang “YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU”.
It was a fun pleasure to meet the regulars and network a bit. The place was groovy too!
Great food and coffee with lots of talent! If you ever get to the Santa Ana area, I recommend this place for a musical stop off!

One goal when arriving here was to do some writing about being FREE for the new upcoming album FREE. I’ve been posting the new tracks at My Other MySpace Site

For some reason this task is a challenging one. What does it mean to be FREE? How does my new music affect people FREEly and set them FREE? These were all questions I was asking myself.

What I have come to understand after this wonderful journey is when we stay open, and embrace the unknown, blessings abound. You never know what good things God has in store for you when you trust Him and walk in the light. What does it mean to walk in the light? I like to think of it as walking in integrity. Listening to the still small voice inside, checking motives and finding true heart desires. And not being afraid.

My time here is about over, as I am to head back up the coast Sunday. I hope to do a Hollywood drive by to capture some fresh video and blow a kiss toward long lived memories of mine. Lord willing I will be returning here again before too long.
I would have liked to stay longer and the time went by way too fast.
The holiday’s are about here and there is much to do around my home so I feel compelled to return.

A quick suggestion and reminder to check out and pick up a copy of my ever so wonderful, A MISS KRISTIN CHRISTMAS

And until we meet again…on the road somewhere,
much LOVE to you always and VERY HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and yours!

Positive Music Month Encourages 30 Days of Positive Music For A Change

November 13, 2009 Campbell, California/USA — During these tough economic times, something positive to hear is rare but welcomed and Positive Music Month is encouraging people to listen to 30 days of positive music for a change.

"Have you ever heard a song that has actually changed your life for the better?" asks Campbell, CA musician Miss Kristin. "Imagine listening to songs like that for a whole month."

"Positive music ("Posi" for short) is popular music that can improve your life," continues Kristin.
"We invite people to try listening to it for a month and see for themselves."

Posi radio stations, record stores and resources are available at websites like www.PositiveMusicAssociation.com, www.emPowerMA.com, www.HarmonizingWithHumanity.com, and www.AcousticFuel.com. The genre even has its own awards program in the annual Posi Awards put on by Empower Music & Arts.

"Think of Posi music as therapy for your mind, or medicine for the soul," says Positive Music Association's Scott Johnson. "It's more than entertainment. It can change your perspective, offer insight and provide hope."

Miss Kristin is no stranger to this genre, in fact since Kristin first arrived on the musical landscape she has been committed to creating and distributing positive music. With two new releases recently including “March On” and “A Miss Kristin Mac Attack” Miss Kristin’s original music plays out like a ray of light that stretches across the nations with a new message of hope. You can listen to the new music in its entirety at: March On at MySpace and A Miss Kristin Mac Attack at MySpace

Kristin is nearing completion on her next release due January 2010 titled “Free”, which Kristin states has the power to set people free from much of the daily negativity as well as breaking the chains people hold, keeping them from really enjoying life!
You can visit Miss Kristin on the web here.
Supporters of Positive music are lobbying for a Grammy category that would appeal to the more than 50 million people in the U.S. alone who make up the Lifestyles Of Health And Sustainability (LOHAS) Market, along with the multi-billion dollar Personal Development industry.

"We want Positive music to be known as a distinct category of music so that it's easy for people to find music that's empowering, enlightening and life changing," says Miss Kristin. "This is a perfect time for people to see what a difference listening to Posi music can make in their lives."

October It Is, and It's All About The Music!

Greetings loved ones!

It has been a busy few months in the life of this
DIY RoCK STAR !

Placing finishing touches on my favorite new release

A MISS KRISTIN MAC ATTACK
while also promoting my recent MARCH ON release.



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.

With the holidays around the corner, I recommend you order your copy today of
A MISS KRISTIN CHRISTMAS

This collection is the gift that keeps on giving.

“A Miss Kristin Christmas” is seven original timeless tracks written, performed and produced by Kristin, that celebrate life with great hope and an imaginative hand. These songs easily spin round your head before parting, pending their phantasmagorical return. You may listen to the whole collection at MySpace .

My prayer is for your patience and loyalty in watching me grow.
I am not a monthly newsletter writer. It seems alot to ask with my full plate,
so I do what I can quarterly.
I do know that I will step it up as I go,
and so I would like to thank you for hanging in there with me.

And to say thank you, please download this lovely track from the
March On cd INSTANT DECISION free!

Instant Decision.mp3

Right click and save it then put it in your iPod!

Thank you for reading and sharing your music and dreams with me! Have a very happy fall season with Halloween and Thanksgiving to warm you.

Love always,

Miss Kristin

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
