[H]er delivery and evocative lyrics are passionate, and her tempered, folksy songcraft is zesty and soulful.
Patrick Conlan - Illinois Entertainer
Kristin Cotts debut album Spatial Relations is a GREAT folk album. The Chicago based singer/songwriter/guitarist has a voice that manages to be both reminiscent of some of the great folk chanteuses (Suzzy Roche comes to mind) and a style whose warmth and versatility reminds me of another great Chicagoland folkie, Steve Goodman (though I’d like to stress that Cotts is an original in her own right.) Aided by Steve Schuster on lead guitar, bass, and vocals; and Liza Villarreal on violin, viola, percussion, and vocals. Cotts leads us through a variety of moods and settings in these twelve intimate heartfelt songs. From the wistful 'Thing Called Beauty' to the funny 'Take a Little Break' Cotts’ style is subdued, smart and tasteful. Spatial Relations is a great addition to any music collection. - Old Folkster I-Tunes Review
"...singer-songwriter Kristin Cotts makes her mark with her own brand of well-thought out tunes, clever lyrics, and an endearing voice..." Antonia B. Johnston, - ChicagoGigs.com

Bio
Kristin Cotts has been writing songs since the age of nine. Originally from the Chicago area, Kristin has lived in such disparate places as North Dakota and France, with stops in Minnesota and Michigan along the way. She is a long distance runner, loves playing in large bodies of water, and has a knack for languages and a passion for learning. She writes songs when she feels like it, which is pretty often, and has spent a lot of hours alone taking her guitar playing in its own choppy direction.
In 2006, she released Spatial Relations, a twelve song CD, which has been praised for its originality, variety, whimsy, and beauty. Joining her on the CD are members of her band What About Rosalind, including Steve Schuster (co-producer and multi-instrumentalist), Jackie Aicher (flute), Liza Villarreal (violin/viola), and Joe Yost (sax).
