Kristina Olsen (Venice, California & Vancouver, BC) is one of the most captivating and entertaining performers on the international acoustic music circuit. A superb multi-instrumentalist, award-winning songwriter, and commanding vocalist with a rich, blues-soaked voice, Kristina has audiences around the world returning again and again for her unforgettable live shows.
Her music moves effortlessly from sassy bottleneck blues and lilting ballads to swing jazz and rollicking raunch-and-roll, all woven together with razor-sharp wit and hilarious storytelling. The result is a deeply engaging and wonderfully unpredictable musical experience that shines both on stage and across her acclaimed recordings and written work.
Born in San Francisco and raised in the vibrant cultural landscape of Haight-Ashbury in the 1960s, Kristina’s artistry was shaped by an era of fearless creativity, social activism, and eclectic musical influences. With thirteen recordings to her name — including four releases on the renowned Philo/Rounder label — along with a live DVD and an enhanced eBook featuring music, she has carved out a sound entirely her own: part jazz, part blues, part singer-songwriter, yet never confined by genre.
Fresh, unconventional, soulful, funny, beautiful, and deeply original, Kristina Olsen continues to push creative boundaries. Her latest project brings local choirs into her performances through specially arranged chorale versions of her songs, creating unique collaborations that make each concert a one-of-a-kind experience.
