About Me



Well Hello. I'm Kristin.

I write songs and perform as a singer and dancer in a couple of different bands.

I announce new songs and dates in my very occasional newsletter...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/1/2006
Band Website: kristinandreassen.com
Band Members: Kiss Me Hello is a record of my songs.
Produced by Mark Schatz.

& now... The Making of Kiss Me Hello! A self-guided documentary filmstrip.

Featuring: Scott Senior (percussionist from The Duhks), Ruth Ungar & Aoife O'Donovan (harmony vocalists from The Mammals, Crooked Still & Sometymes Why), Danny Knicely (guitar & banjo), Oliver Steck (piano & trumpet), Frank Russo (drums), Eric Merrill (fiddle & viola), Rushad Eggleston (cello), Jake Armerding(harmony), and more, and more...

Influences: My friends who play & listen to music.

Some dancers to start off with: Eileen Carson & Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble, Megan Downes, Chrissy Galante, Emily Crews, Benoit Bourque, Step Afrika!, Jason Nious, Maureen Berry, Phil Jamison, Rodney Sutton & the Green Grass Cloggers, Matty Gordon, Heidi Kulas & the Bailey Mountain Cloggers, Sharon Leahy, Emma Leahy Good, Abby & Evie Ladin of Rhythm in Shoes, Sandy Silva, Nic Gareiss, Matty Olwell of Good Foot Dance Company, Joe Rankin, Betty Matheson, Helen & Dawn MacDonald & the rest from stepdance night at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Sydney, Cape Breton.

It's harder to choose amongst the songwriter, instrumentalist, spiritual & culinary influences. I'll think about it.

Sounds Like: Here's my discography, in reverse chronological order:

Kristin Andreassen - Kiss Me Hello
Uncle Earl - Waterloo, Tennessee
Sometymes Why - Sometimes Why
The Jolly Bankers - Tax Return
Uncle Earl - She Waits for Night
The Jolly Bankers - Death & Taxes

This is a short "horror" movie and the soundtrack is all songs from Kiss Me Hello! Ha. It was made by some friends in 48 hours as a part of Boston's 48 Hour Film Project .

While recording Kiss Me Hello, Mark Schatz, mid-take, makes a dancing girl from a matchbox and attaches her to Scott Senior's high hat sizzle beads. Madness...

Record Label: None
Type of Label: Major
