About Me

With two independent album releases under her belt and performances at Lilith Fair and the Canadian Tulip Festival, singer/songwriter, Kristin McCaig, has captured an audience drawn to her melancholic folklore and songs from suburbia."McCaig is a forceful voice - reminiscent at times of Sue Medley or Nathalie Merchant.." (Bruce Deachman, The Ottawa Citizen)You can expect songs about the ins and outs of life simply put together and with the backing of an acoustic guitar or piano."Kristin is focused on the lyric and how her musical accompaniment will bring the message across to her listeners. She loves her audience and aims to identify with them emotionally. Her songs are so sensitive that you MUST just listen for a while." (Lior Shamir, wearelistening.org)Critics say it's hard to be born to a small town and survive in music. Kristin McCaig is one example of why this is not so.Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
