My Girl The River Debut Album

Thank you for stopping by. Let me tell you about this project and why I feel it's worthy of your listening time and investment. Four years ago, my Aunt Linda, one of the strongest women in my life, passed away from an aggressive form of ovarian cancer. She left me a small amount of money. Fast forward to today. Incredible things are happening. Gorgeous, unforgettable songs, the best of my songwriting career.. A wonderful musician and engineer, John Garden (Alison Moyet/Scissor Sisters) has stepped out of the woodwork to record and mix the album. Musicians from Denmark, England, Nashville and North Carolina have gifted the project with their magic - folks like Jacob Chano (drums), Jonathan Byrd (vocals), Kristin Wilkinson (strings), Will Kimbrough (electric guitar), Max Milligan (acoustic guitar), Nick Pynn (mandocello and dulcimer) and Joe Hughes (bass). Ghosts of sounds past have come to life on this album, to breath once again.  Think Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash. But also think Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams. And also think modern, created with fairydust and magic. There is a story to be told with exquisite detail. I decided to use my Aunt Linda's gift as seed money to create the album and so I present My Girl The River's debut 'This Ain't No Fairytale'. Songs about my hometown of Covington, about Louisiana, about the South, about love and loss and lies and bad weather. About marriages and break-ups, Nashville, homesickness, and romance and the wonder of it all. 'This Ain't No Fairytale' is an album of tall tales and embellished truths. Nostalgia and what ifs. Hellos and goodbyes. It's a dedication to all of my family, but especially to my southern roots that are stronger than ever.  I know ya'll will enjoy it. It was an absolute pleasure to make it. A dream come true. Thank you for considering it.  - Kris x

This money will be used to finish making the album - mastering, manufacture, etc. and fund press and promotion, which at this time, I do all myself. In short - I can't do it without you! I hope to raise my goal before the end of the year. Thank you!)
