Kyrie Kristmanson

Performing on Alumni

Kyrie Kristmanson 1:45pm – 2:10 pm

“Kristmanson’s direct yet otherworldly style [makes her songs] seem like folk music from some isolated mountain or urban canyon” Robert Everett Green, The Globe and Mail

Kyrie Kristmanson is a fresh voice on Canada’s independent music scene. Her unique musical style evokes the various Canadian maritime, prairie and urban landscapes she has grown up in. At nineteen, she has already captivated audiences in various parts of the country and abroad with her fusion of folk, jazz and alternative rock influences. She writes powerful, exciting and thoughtful songs in English and French. She incorporates her third language, Spanish, from time to time.

Kyrie plays a nylon-string guitar that her father gave her for her ninth birthday, the beginning of her musical life. As she grew up in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and London, England, she studied voice, guitar and trumpet with a series of wonderful teachers and mentors.
