Kristen’s hazy folk pop songs embrace life’s challenges and quiet moments of beauty. With gentle arrangements, haunting harmonies and insightful messages her songs are the perfect soundtrack to ease your melancholy. With multiple ECMA and Music Nova Scotia award nominations since her return to music in 2020, she is making a name for herself in the East Coast music scene and beyond. Her latest album ‘Every Season’ is her most confident, self-assured and emotionally compelling work to date.

Kristen is a straight-from-the heart songwriter, capable of transforming her own experiences with life, love, and loss into songs with universal appeal. Moody, hypnotic and reminiscent of Sarah McLachlan, ‘Every Season’ is a lovingly crafted album full of surprises and moments of beauty. Produced by acclaimed songwriter-turned Producer Gabrielle Papillon, the album explores new territory with orchestral folk pop anthems and features artists such as Old Man Luedecke and Dan Ledwell. ‘Every Season’ draws upon inspiration of the changing seasons and reminds us that with every change, every hardship there is a new outlook; a new beginning…a new season.

As a CAF, and Afghanistan veteran, J-M is trying to re-invent himself as a singer – songwriter. Sometimes playing little gigs with his band Land of Lions, sometimes busking…and sometimes he wants to quit.

However, When and if you see him, serendipitously, He’ll plays his own original music of an unknown style, and a few select renditions. Humanly raw and spiritually real, even foolish… like an up, close, and personal trip into the human soul.
