Jan Krist * Acoustic Stage * July 7th
Jan Krist began writing and singing songs in Detroit-area folk clubs in 1980, building considerable interest. Billboard magazine called her first album, Decapitated Society, "an incredibly powerful debut...unreservedly recommended." Wing and a Prayer, her second release, was once again honored by Billboard, noting that her "multifaceted voice is a marvel; soaring, cajoling, pleading -- sometimes in the same measure. Virtually every song is a gem. Highest Marks!" 1996's Curious was voted one of the Top 100 albums of all time by CCM Magazine. With several new projects on Silent Planet, Jan again performed at Cornerstone with her daughter Amon (Velour 100), who's embarking on her own solo career recording her first solo CD. Already a concert favorite, fans will love the wit and bite of poetic lyrics and the soaring voice of one of Detroit's finest folk divas. |
