Artist Information Biography           Kristan Preble began her singing career at the ripe old age of five at a Hee Haw themed family reunion. Since then, there has been no looking back for this beautiful, smooth and soulfully voiced, Florida born, Brandon, Mississippi-raised singer/songwriter.           A naturally gifted lyricist and self taught acoustic guitar player, her songs ebb and flow with the lyrical meanderings and melodic stylings of a young Bonnie Raitt with a sprinkle of Shania Twain and a cup of Patty Loveless, some of Kristan's biggest musical influences, thrown in for good measure.             Still an avid athlete with tennis as her favorite sport, Kristan, honed her burgeoning musical skills in church as a youngster. She continued her passion with music through grade-school and into her high-school years by singing at numerous high-school events. Including the national anthem before her high-school's sporting events, often singing the anthem before her own team's softball games then running out to play center field before the first pitch was thrown. While similtaneously writing her own material and performing at some of the most popular bars and clubs throughout Mississippi during her high-school years, Kristan penned the Mississippi Northwest Rankin High-School fight song which is still used today before every sporting event.             Shortly after high-school, while recording demo's in Hendersonville, Tennessee, Kristan was discovered by her then manager Joe Carter.  In 2005, as a sophomore in college, Kristan was signed to a Demo Deal by RCA Records. She spent that year co-writing with some of Nashville's top songwriters such as, Chris Lindsey, Aimee Mayo, Hillary Lindsey, Troy Verges and Marv Green, working to record her demo.  She is also an active and participating member of NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association, Inc), and BMI Music Licensing Group. She graduated in 2007 from Middle Tennessee State University with a BS degree in Recording Industry--emphasis on Music Business, along with a minor in Business Administration.         --For pictures, tour dates/locations, free music downloads, to leave a message for or to talk to Kristan Preble, please visit her MySpace and DigitalRodeo pages at:                                     www.myspace.com/KristanPreble                                   www.digitalrodeo.com/KristanPreble Instrumentation Kristan Preble - Vocals & Acoustic Guitar *full band available when requested Discography CD's 3 Track Demo CD for RCA records Kristan Preble - The Acoustic Sessions (original music) Single 'Dancing With the Stars' debuted at #4 in the top ten on 98.9 radio Free Nashville Spent 8 weeks in the top ten, making it to the NIM radio hall of fame www.nimradio.com Single Lies being played by Desert Highway Radio, RadioPgh, and Women of Music podcast. -Currently have 35-40 original songs.  Please contact me to hear samples of others that are not listed.
