Combining her enchanting voice with her virtuosity on the pedal harp, American singer/songwriter Kristi Bartleson has been crafting bridges between folk and pop music for more than a decade. Kristi's catchy and exotic sound patterns are inspired by jazz, folk and classical music.
With her origins in the high Colorado Rockies, Kristi graduated with honors from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York.
