About Me

THE MUSIC: It's mainstream music, dressed up at times with hints of Jazz or down with a Country-Cross Over sound, it Pops and rocks with a Soulfully smooth edge. It's Chick Rock with Tomboy Attitude! Kristina is most often compared with the likes of Sheryl Crow, Michelle Branch and Melissa Ethridge.
WHEN PERFORMING: It's the most fun you can have with an acoustic duo! Kristina and Dan bring an incredible amount of energy to the original and cover music they perform as an acoustic duo! Listen as guitarist Dan Furey records, on the spot, a rhythm or a drum line with his guitar looper and layers the music on top of that creating a full acoustic band sound.
THE STORY: It's the classic girl next door who loves to write music and sing, meets a guitarist that rocks and takes her and her songs to places she had only imagined in her wildest dreams. Yeah, it's like that, only cooler! Kristina and Dan are a married couple who thought maybe they could make beautiful music together. It started out as an experiment to see what would happen if they took an original song and recorded it to CD. The result of the experiment was an explosion of a new talent, similar to what it would sound like if Billy Squier and Michelle Branch recorded together, which brought out all the fans who'd been waiting for that phenomenon to occur. These new fans demanded the experiment be extended until there was a full CD of this rocking, soulful music.That's it. There's no more story. You can't make this stuff up, well actually you can and they do. That's right, they're making it up as they go along. However, there really is no more bio. If you want the whole story sign up and become a fan, get their personal update letters, see them perform and experience the journey along with them.
