More news!

Kristin's brand new debut CD may be available at some
of the gigs, but it's official release is scheduled
for August! See Dren Records for more on this

At the same time another album is in the pipeline.
This is the duo formed by Kristin Mueller and Austin
Hughes (of M Shanghai String Band). The collaboration
is known as kristin:austin, and they already have
played a gig in Kingston, NY recently (see photos page
at the website).

Here's what Kristin has to say about playing with
Austin Hughes -

"He and I are recording a collaborative album and are
now playing out as a duo that we call kristin:austin.
It features some of my songs some of his songs and
lots of harmonies. I like it lots and its a more
feasible sound for travelling on tour."

If you want to hear this amazing duo, you're in luck!

ps - One of my very favourite performers other than
Kristin is the amazing Dublin based singer/songwriter
Katell Keineg (who grew up in Wales and Brittany).
And she appeared in a recent New York Times Magazine
article (July 2nd 2006)
