Kristen Ford is a voracious singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. With her natural vocal growl and lyricism as tough as it is tender, Kristen’s voice brings vivid specificity to her experience as a biracial queer woman in America. A true lover of live performance, Kristen tours globally, experimenting in pursuit of the perfect show. Utilizing every tool at her disposal from acoustic to electric, from beatboxing to loop pedals, Kristen weaves a tapestry of varied musical color. Ford’s Righteous Babe Records debut, “Pinto”, produced by John Driskell Hopkins (Zac Brown Band) and co-produced by Ani DiFranco is set for release August 2025 led by singles.

“Acoustically brooding one moment, explosive and epic the next”

— Ft Stockton Pioneer

“A little whimsical, clearly influenced by songwriting greats without losing her unique character, and offbeat enough to always have a bit of an edge.”

— Worcester Telegram

“Pure rock and roll screaming with childish joy”

— The Deli
