Kris Kitko is a one-woman musical/comedy powerhouse who strums, picks, sings and fills up the stage like a five-piece band. The "Chicago Tribune" claims that she has "musical superpowers" and that she lights up the room with her "disarming sense of humor" and "considerable talent."Kris uses real life to make us laugh; nothing is safe from her quick wit. Her musical skit "On Becoming a Woman and Other Lies" has brought down the house from Florida to Chicago and beyond. "Windy City Times" claims that her humorous feminist tune, "The Bitch Song" has "anthem written all over it." Kitko delights her audiences with a reminder that we've all got issues with her hysterical song "Everybody's Family Is Messed Up (Including Yours and Especially Mine)".Every now and then Kitko steps back into a more introspective mood and delivers gorgeous melodies and lyrics. "Feel" takes us down Any Street in Any Town, USA, and gives us a door-to-door tour of the lives of all those strangers living on your block--from the former homecoming queen to the retired truck driver. And for those of you who have ever lost a pet and felt as though you would never recover, "We Buried Our Dog Today" will gently take your hand and lead you into a room of friends who have all suffered and survived that experience.But enough of that...before you know it, Kris Kitko has you laughing again, maybe at a politician, maybe at the weather, or maybe at yourself.Kris Kitko enjoys being part of her community. Between her appearances, she helps with fundraisers and other events. She has performed to raise money for domestic violence programs, animal shelters, children's services, and urban renewal projects. This year Kristin was honored to receive the "Love Without Fear" award from the Abused Adult Resource Center in Bismarck, North Dakota.Kris has released a new CD, Krissy Made A Funny, which the critics are crying about--the kind of crying that goes along with gut-wrenching laughter.
Guitar Noise predicts that "Kitko is a name that will go far," and it's looking as though she's on her way.
