About Me



Songdesigner/Singer Kit Krash travels with an attache case of tones and whispers. These special medicines and herbal tonics help sponsor the sideshow of assorted amusements. Sometimes known as the slide and steel player for diverse acts such as The Kit Krash Sound, The Kit Krash Experience and The Kit Krash Explosion and other times the device driven violinist who has played with Elliot Sharp, Marc Ribot and the illbient group Byzar, he most often likes to sit back with an acoustic guitar, a dobro or a piano and lay down the melody and words to create landscape architecture over the airwaves. And so tells another tale of the mysterious traveller.
