Our 2010 Cover Commissions season kicks off with an up-and-coming songwriter straight out of the heartland. Bloomington, Indiana that is, home to John Mellencamp, David Lee Roth...and Kristy Brannon.
Not that Kristy sounds much like the local rock stars. Her quiet confessions come instead from the female songwriting tradition of Norah Jones or Sara Bareilles, proving once again that with smart lyrics and a pretty voice it doesn’t take more than an acoustic guitar to make a point. She describes herself as an “indie folk female version of Bright Eyes” and she’s not far off.
You can check out more info on Kristy from her website or MySpace page. Personally, I recommend hitting the website, if only to check out her blog which features endearingly meandering thoughts on everything from Space Ghost to dreams about marriage proposals from aliens. There you can also download Kristy’s latest EP, The Untold Story, for free after checking out the sample below.

Bio
I began my career as a musician when I arose from the black hole that some call Terre Haute. At once I united with my trusty guitar, Jorge, and we have been together playing music ever since. If Badly Drawn Boy was actually one girl who was from America who reluctantly admitted to singing with a bit of a southern Indiana accent wrote songs about things that happened to her in such a vague way that no one could tell it was something that happened to her while intermittently listening to Weezer and developing a crush on Brandon Boyd from Incubus, well, that might be me...approximately.
