Event Details
JAVA NOTES Concert Series is proud to present Krista Detor!
Proceeds from this concert will benefit Luke House.
With her highly acclaimed album, ‘Mudshow’, Krista Detor was established as a gifted player on the world stage. Now, with her follow-up album, ‘Cover Their Eyes’, together with partner and producer, David Weber, she’s created a collection of brilliantly provocative and compelling songs that push the edges of genre while remaining close throughout to the lyrical thread that defines her work.
A writer with the rare ability to convey her songs via a beautiful voice and acute musical sensibilities, she’s praised by critics and concert promoters alike: "Krista Detor is an artist with a stunning voice, evocative without being overly emotional and the stage presence to deliver the full intent of her lyrics to the audience. Listening to her CD gave me high expectations, seeing her light up the audience reminded me why I host concerts.."
"..A small miracle… wonderful, intensive music.. she would be good on every stage in the world.." - Rolling Stone
"Heart-breaking poetry, wrapped inside sophisticated, gorgeous melodies, delivered to you by a beautiful voice..." - Lauren Robert -Performer/Composer/Playwright - Eugene O'Neill Award Winner
