KRYSTLE WARREN:
HMV Next Big Thing at the Jazz Cafe 8th February.
Four nights at The Soho Theatre 24th - 27th February.
Debut Album 'Circles' 22nd February.
"… Warren's talents are extraordinary. She has an octave-hopping voice that glides between languid and urgent, and music that hovers between funk, folk and jazz, between Jeff Buckley and Nina Simone ….. she's the real deal." The Observer
Krystle Warren hails from Kansas City and learned to play the guitar by listening to Rubber Soul and Revolver. Her tastes range from Rufus Wainwright to Betty Carter, Willie Nelson to Nina Simone and she's toured the US with Martha Wainwright, Zap Mama, Rodrigo & Gabriela and Erykah Badu.
There is no Krystle Warren-shaped pigeon-hole. The last few months have seen her equally at home at the London Jazz Festival's "Jazz Voice" evening at the Barbican alongside the likes of Kurt Elling and Natalie Merchant, supporting country singer Diana Jones at Union Chapel, touring with the high priests of "vocal play" Naturally 7, and appearing alongside the likes of Green Gartside, Teddy Thompson, Lisa Hannigan and Vashti Bunyan on the Way To Blue - The Songs of Nick Drake tour last week.
This February Krystle Warren returns to London to play HMV's 'Next Big Thing' with Rox and Andreya Triana at the Jazz Cafe.

Also in February, Krystle Warren will play a short run of late-night sessions at the Soho Theatre. Although accustomed to the arenas of theatre and comedy, the Soho Theatre has rarely before opened its doors to a live music act. It is therefore fitting that Krystle Warren will take the stage, combining her extraordinary vocal talent with a strong personality and charismatic stage presence, to set in motion a future of live music at the Soho Theatre.

"Krystle Warren has an emotional intensity few can match, soul baring, chest beating and fragile - it's all in there. The songs range from full on complex arrangements to just her and her instrument, either way this girl is in for the long haul. A star is born!" BluesandSoul.com
"Much of its strength is down to the assured quality of her voice, which sashays elegantly among the hidden corridors linking jazz, blues, folk, funk and pop without a trace of self-consciousness and has you instinctively grasping for elusive comparisons." Colin Irwin, BBC Music
"Krystle Warren's music makes for a delectable winter warmer. She has a comfortably rich and tender delivery that evokes the likes of Tracy Chapman and Joan Armatrading. She honed her material as a street musician in New York and Paris, and her melodies merge styles from vintage soul to folk, funk and jazz. Her sound is fabulously easy to embrace yet enticingly hard to second-guess." Arwa Haider, Metro
"There's something alluringly familiar about Krystle Warren. She instantly sounds classic … we are certainly in the presence of a mighty talent."
