Kristina Olsen (US)

This is a concert I have been looking forward to for a long time!

Kristina Olsen is unquestionably one of the finest and most entertaining songwriters and performers travelling the world stage today. My experiences of her to date have been as part of incredibly enthusiastic capacity crowds at The National Folk Festival in Canberra. It is going to be very special to experience an entire concert with her in the intimate atmosphere of Humph Hall.

“It is indeed a rare occurrence to be so completely captivated for an entire concert by one person and a guitar, but American singer/songwriter Kristina Olsen certainly managed this and more, delivering a highly entertaining show to a capacity audience for over two hours.” (Patrick Shepherd)

“She tells stories of trekking through Alaska on snowmobiles to gigs or of dancing with a drunk, and then sings everything from sweet, passionate piano ballads to rollicking folk-rock or growling, raucous blues. For Olslen, the message is personal and delivered with fire . . . finely crafted songs . . . Her blues style, like that of many great blues singers, is rife with sexy overtones.” (Stephen Ide)

For her appearance in Humph Hall, Kristina will be performing with the renowned cellist Anatoli Torjinski.
