It’s a strange thing, but every so often a bloom transplanted from the desert thrives in the wet soil of the Northwest. Kristy Cameron is one of those rare flowers. Raised outside Las Vegas, she grew up in a world of her own, one shaped by old Dolly Parton songs and the reality of life and death in the City of Sin. Today, her folk-tinged country songs are a clear nod to those roots. Guitar, banjo, and Kristy’s winsome voice guide you through an arid landscape of tall tales and lost souls.

On Barstow to Vegas, her debut album, Kristy delivers a hand-polished assortment of original compositions. From a raucous ballad about the motocross race where her parents met, to an ominous march for a small-town parade gone wrong, to a sweet ode to the pony of her dreams, these songs go straight to the heart of pioneer America, past and present. The album also boasts contributions from some of the most talented music makers in the Northwest, including former Visqueen lead Rachel Flotard, local pedal-steel legend Jon Hyde, and the Spoonshine Duo. Produced by Johnny Sangster at Crackle and Pop! in Seattle and released by Local 638 Records.   

Now performing live with the boys from Spoonshine--fleet-fingered Jacob Navarro on guitar and mandolin and rock-solid William Cook on stand-up bass--Kristy is bringing her folk-tinged country music to large and small venues across the region.
