Krista Detor

With her highly acclaimed album, Mudshow (“a small miracle” Rolling Stone), Krista Detor was established as a gifted player on the world stage. Together with partner and producer, David Weber, she continues to push the edges of genre while remaining close throughout to the lyrical thread that defines her work. She has reached #1 on the Euro-Americana chart and her music has been featured at the Cannes Film Festival, on NPR, PBS, the BBC, as well as countless U.S. and European national, regional, and local radio shows. She has appeared on both U.S. and European television and collaborated on the CD and stage show Wilderness Plots, which has received rave reviews, became a PBS special and was honored by both houses of the Indiana Legislature for contributions to the arts. The show will continue to tour throughout the U.S. well into the future. In addition, she was honored to be chosen to be a part of the Darwin Songhouse, with seven other songwriters in Shrewsbury England, writing for 7 days songs to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin in his hometown. The event, subsequent concert, and live CD release ("an impressive, intriguing album" The Guardian, London) were covered extensively by the BBC. Touring the U.S. and Europe consistently, Detor has shared stages with Joan Armatrading, Aaron Neville, Suzanne Vega, Loudon Wainwright, Harry Manx, John Doe, Sam Phillips, Richard Shindell, Jeff Daniels, Colin Linden, Chris Wood, Slaid Cleaves, Peter Mulvey, Jakob Dylan, Carrie Newcomer, Lucy Kaplansky, and John Gorka, among others, and travels with her partner and producer, David Weber. Her solo album, FLAT EARTH DIARY, will be released January 14, 2014, due in part to a resoundingly successful crowdfunding campaign.
