Hey all you cowgals and cowboys,
Here's the Mid-August update. If you live in NYC,
you're in luck as Kristin will be playing solo work at
an August show today (16th of August) and another show
in September. The album will be released on the 2nd
of September and you can now visit her website to see
the cover art. There's info about the shows and more
below.
UPCOMING SHOWS
In case you have become absent-minded from all this
hot weather, here's a reminder about the show
tommorow.
Kristin:Austin will be onstage at 9pm tomorrow
(Wednesday 16th of August) at The Living Room. They
will be followed by the marvelous Matty Charles at
10pm and finally Gloria Deluxe (with Kristin playing
drums at 11pm).
Additionally, Kristin plays drums at Clare Burson's
Tuesday night shows during her month-of-August
residency at The Living Room.
The next opportunity to hear Kristin perform her solo
work will be on September 6th (Wed) when Kristin
Mueller performs at Club Midway (25 Avenue B, in
Manhattan between 2nd and 3rd St).
KRISTIN INTERVIEWED IN GO NYC
Since it's August, you can now hunt down a free copy
of GO NYC which features an interview with Kristin in
it's feature article "Out Artists on the Rise: 16
unique out musicians on the brink of stardom"
http://www.gonycmagazine.com/feature1f.html
In case you can't track down the article, I'm
providing the text at the end of this e-mail (see
bottom).
SHAMELESS PLUG
Finally, here's a small plug not from Kristin herself,
but instead from me (Jesse) the person who updates the
website and maintains the updater. Check out Katell
Keineg's show this Friday (18th) at the Bowery
Ballroom (tickets are $15).
Katell sold out 3 shows at The Living Room last month.
My 3 favourite performers today are Kristin Mueller,
Katell Keineg, and the Hank Dogs. If you like
Kristin's music, I think there's a strong chance that
you would Katell and the Hank Dogs.
That's it for now. The GO NYC article is below.
All the very best,
Jesse the updater

KRISTIN MUELLER
"I've never really classified myself as an out
musician, rather as a musician who's out. Living in a
city like New York has afforded me the lucky
opportunity to work in a creative environment where
who I'm sleeping with is irrelevant compared to what I
bring as an artist musically." and what Kristin
Mueller brings is a lush country sound that can be
heard on her debut album "Ports of Call". Mueller's
work has earned her critical acclaim from "The Village
Voice" and "Time Out New York" and her song "Finding a
Woman" is featured in the Sundance award-winning film
"What Alice Found".
Originally from New Jersey, Mueller played in clubs
throughout the Northeast and eventually landed in New
York City. In addition to her own music she divides
her time drumming for the Caulfield Sisters, Gloria
Deluxe, and Clare Burson, and playing banjo for M
Shanghai String Band. "Most of the musicians I play
with these days have become some of my closest
friends. Their immense talents challenge me as a
player and a person."
Mueller is also the engineer and co-host of WFMU's
"Old Time New" with Noah Zark. She can be seen every
Tuesday in August at the Living Room with Clare Burson
and will be showcasing her own material at Club Midway
on Sept 6th. Check her website kristinmueller.com for
