Interview with Kristy Howes

BC Country artist Kristy Howes has been captivating audiences with her unique and progressive sound since she began singing at age eight. Her career accelerated to new heights when she met Trey Gray, an award-winning drummer and talented producer who has worked with acts including Faith Hill, Jewel and Brooks & Dunn. They met in October 2009 and Trey listened to an original song written and composed by Kristy called “Not 4 You”. Impressed by what he heard, Trey invited Kristy to Nashville in January 2010 to record an EP with his studio – Littleton Music Group. Eventually, she recorded more tracks (she had a hand in writing all of the songs) to complete her debut CD entitled The December Sessions. Kristy says, "…writing gives me a chance to vent, a chance to express what I’m really feeling. It’s the perfect remedy for a bad day". Along with touring in 2011 to promote her debut record, Kristy is currently writing new material for her upcoming studio project. She joins me on this edition of In The Country to talk about her CD, songwriting, musical influences & much more.
