Welcome Kristy Lee as she performs for the first time on our ACMA stage!
Kristy's career started in the early 2000's with an exclusive deal through Target Stores across the U.S. releasing her 1st album, Lifescapes. She's been touring the U.S. and overseas for the last 20+ years.
Although she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2012, her creative spirit is proving to be the therapy that is stronger than the disease.
Her latest release (Aug 2023), The Olive Tree, debuted at #1 on the iTunes blues charts.
Kristy’s raw authenticity has captured the hearts of a loyal international fan base as well as some of music’s top names. She has toured and shared the stage with Leon Russell, Zac Brown Band, Indigo Girls, G. Love & Special Sauce, Jack Johnson, Jason Isbell, Sister Hazel and Imagine Dragons – to name a few. She has played some of the most prestigious music festivals in the world including BluesFest Australia, the Hangout Fest, 30A Songwriters Festival, Cayamo & The Rock Boat Festivals at Sea, and her own conception, the Unleashed Women's Music Festival in Pensacola, Florida.
Kristy also landed an original song, “One Night Romance” with G.Love & Special Sauce on the album, Sugar, featuring 60’s soul legend, Mary Clayton (The Rolling Stones, Gimme Shelter) – it is the ultimate incarnation of the “Dirt Road Soul” Kristy Lee has become known for.
Her music transcends genres, lifts heavy spirits and promotes the healing that we all sometimes need. Her songs tend to be true stories of her own journey, her loved one’s struggles and accomplishments, and overall positive messages that the world can relate to – and needs to hear. Kristy’s unique style of music is the background music to all our lives.
EUrban.com has this to say---"Kristy Lee is a triple threat. She has the unique ability to speak to souls, break hearts and mend them all at the same time. Her music is a breath of fresh air in a smoke-filled bar packed tight with anticipation."
