op verzoek Krista Detor - A Dream in a Cornfield

With her highly acclaimed album, Mudshow (“a small miracle” Rolling Stone), Krista Detor was established as a gifted player on the world stage. Together with partner and producer, David Weber, she has since released the follow-up album, Cover Their Eyes (“one of the best albums of the year” Revolver), continuing to push the edges of genre while remaining close throughout to the lyrical thread that defines her work. She has reached #1 on the Euro-Americana chart and her music has been featured at the Cannes Film Festival, on NPR, PBS, the BBC, as well as countless U.S. and European national, regional, and local radio shows. She has appeared on both U.S. and European television and collaborated on the CD and stage show Wilderness Plots, which has received rave reviews and will continue to tour throughout the U.S. well into the future.

In March 2009, she was honored to be chosen to be a part of the Darwin Songhouse, with seven other songwriters in Shrewsbury England, writing for 7 days songs to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin in his hometown. The event, subsequent concert, and live CD release ("an impressive, intriguing album" The Guardian, London) were covered extensively by the BBC.

Krista Detor released "Chocolate Paper Suites" – her 4th solo album – in March 2010 with whirlwind tour throughout Northern Europe and the United Kingdom. The new album's release in the U.S. will be kicked off with Krista's traditional benefit concert in Bloomington, Indiana on September 11, 2010. The new album consists of a series of five seamless 3-song suites, each connected by theme and/or imagery, and inspired by the works of Lorca, Dylan Thomas, and Darwin, among other thinkers, artists and experiences.
