"kRi and hettie, are a folk duo who blend acoustic guitar, spoken word and harmonies...
if you're searching for inspiration, look no further" -Sara Havens Leo Weekly editor
kRi and hettie's show is a theatrical experience. They seamlessly weave humor, storytelling, music, and poetry into a performance that inspires both young and old while maintaining that open-hearted feeling. kRi, a redheaded-modern-day Bette Midler, and hettie, a blonde soft-spoken India.Arie, mix on stage like oil and vinegar making the salad taste so good! They have shared the stage with Sarah Bettens, Erin McKeown, Ben Sollee, Leslie and The LYs, and Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Gretchen Peters.
Being in service to the world is a huge part of who kRi and hettie are. They were commissioned by the Austin, Texas-based organization Cenpatico to create the theme song "Change it Up" for the Peaceful Warrior project, designed to engage and inspire young women in the foster care system. Their song "Heal me" will also be featured in the upcoming film, Homecoming.
They have released three albums, Sirens; Chasing the Sun, self-produced and funded by a grant from the KY Foundation for Women; kRi and hettie LIVE, recorded during "Live Lunch" at Louisville, KY's local NPR station, WFPK; kRi and hettie rhymes with tRee and betty, their latest release just kicked off their 2012 spring tour.
"Their sound is unique, blending hip hop with folk, gorgeous vocals, and deep lyrics" -Laura Shine WFPK
"I love that [kRi and hettie] are free on stage, free to dance and communicate, drawing on the energy of the crowd and giving back more and more. . . They are young and fresh and have a palpable chemistry which adds depth to their love songs." - Chi Sherman, NUVO
"Their shows are inspirational, uplifting and powerful, and their music is equipped with a message that gives a voice to feminism, equality and girl power. In fact, if they were a Spice Girl, they'd be Patchouli Spice. The ladies also don't take themselves too seriously and like to have a good time on stage." - Sara Havens, Leoweekly
