With her highly acclaimed album, ‘Mudshow’, Krista
Detor was established as a gifted player on the world stage.
Now, with her follow-up album, ‘Cover Their Eyes’,
together with partner and producer, David Weber, she’s
created a collection of brilliantly provocative and compelling
songs that push the edges of genre while remaining close throughout
to the lyrical thread that defines her work.
’Cover Their Eyes’ spans era and style, incorporating
the musical influence of some of the places in which Krista has
lived and traveled – the southern U.S., the Midwest and
Europe. All distinct on their own, these regional and cultural
influences are woven together in a continuous pattern of sound
and story.
A writer with the rare ability to convey her songs via a beautiful
voice and acute musical sensibilities, she’s praised by
critics and concert promoters alike: “Krista Detor is an
artist with a stunning voice, evocative without being overly
emotional and the stage presence to deliver the full intent of
her lyrics to the audience. Listening to her CD gave me high
expectations, seeing her light up the audience reminded me why
I host concerts…”
In the short time since the release of ‘Mudshow’,
Detor has reached #1 on the Euro-Americana chart and her music’s
been featured at the Cannes Film Festival, on NPR, the BBC, Dutch
Nat’l Radio, German Nat’l Radio, Belgian Nat’l
Radio, as well as countless U.S. and European National, Regional & Local
Radio Shows and Podcasts. She’s appeared on both U.S. and
European television and contributed the featured performance
for the National Domestic Violence Hotline Conference in Washington
D.C. 2006.
In 2007, Detor completed the collaborative stage show, ‘Wilderness
Plots,’ with Award-winning songwriter Carrie Newcomer,
as well as Tim Grimm and a small group of talented Indiana songwriters.
The show has received rave reviews and will continue to tour
throughout the U.S. Detor's follow-up album, 'Cover Their Eyes'
is making similar waves in the European musical world where she
toured last fall to an intensely loyal and dedicated European
audience. 'Cover Their Eyes’ will be released in the U.S.
on April 26, 2008.
Detor defies genre, but the quality of her writing has been
compared to the likes of Leonard Cohen, Laura Nyro, Tom Waits
and Joni Mitchell, company she is more than happy to keep. She
tours the U.S. and Europe consistently, has shared stages with
Joan Armatrading, Suzanne Vega, Loudon Wainwright, Colin Linden,
Luka Bloom, Slaid Cleaves, Carrie Newcomer, Pierce Pettis and
John Gorka, among others and travels with her partner and producer,
David Weber.
"Detor's portraits are finely painted...a million miles
above moon, spoon and June." Folkwax
"The intimacy of the songs...make you feel as if Detor
sings only for you..[you] will be won over after listening only
once..." De Morgen, Belgium
