answers will appear here at our whim and in no particular order.

Q: When will Kristi be playing in (insert city here)? - Various
A: Due to the fact that Kristi hopes to go into the studio this summer (2010), chances are
there won't be a whole lot of live shows for a while - but she is known to "road test"
new songs at some of her impromptu unplugged shows! Keep an eye on our Tour
page and we'll keep you up to date with the latest live show schedules!

Q: Does Kristi write words or music first? - Peter Muller, Frankfort, Germany
A. Kristi tells us that it varies - sometimes she gets a great melody in her head and writes
around that, other times lyrics she's already written will trigger a melody or rhythm pattern.
She also carries around a number of notebooks in which she's always jotting ideas.

Q: How long has Kristi been singing? - Dave Parsons, Goldens Bridge, NY USA
A: Kristi was first heard singing at around the age of 3, about the same
time that she started reading.

Q: How did Kristi learn to play guitar? - Anke Visser, Arnhem, The Netherlands
A: Kristi taught herself to play both guitar and piano, with the help of some
chord books and a very good ear - she used to figure out the guitar parts to her
favourite songs just by listening to them over and over, which helped her learn.

Q: How tall is Kristi? - Ashley Ford, Chicago, IL USA
A: Kristi is 5' 10" - without heels!

Q: I have a disc by a band called "Orange Crush" that a friend gave me -
and I'd swear the voice was Kristi's! Is it? - Genevieve LaFond, Chicago, IL USA
A: Yes! Orange Crush was one of the early bands that
Kristi was in. Get all the details on our Bio page!
