I am so very pleased to announce that I've officially begun the recording process for my new album ... Hooray!!!! I'll be working again with the amazing Ken Whiteley as producer at his Toronto studio. Currently we're recording four songs for funding/grant application purposes and will be proceeding with project completion later in the fall. Some new tracks will be posted for fun here on my website and on my Myspace page. I'll keep you posted. xo
Hailed as one of Canada's "hottest young guitar players," Kristin Sweetland has been much-lauded for her intricate instrumental guitarwork, rich vocals and enchanting stage presence. A born performer and true road-warrior, Sweetland brings her wild tales of adventure to the stage in style. Her albums include Own Sweet Time, released in Fall 2007, and her critically acclaimed debut, Root, Heart & Crown. Both albums were produced by Juno award-winning multi-instrumentalist Ken Whiteley, and showcase Sweetland's stellar guitar playing alongside powerful melodies and deeply intelligent songwriting. Musically, Sweetland draws on broad influences from folk/roots, classical, flamenco, world music and rock-n-roll traditions in ways that are rich, delicious, utterly refined and unmistakably Sweetlandish.
