Kristin Errett
Acoustic, Singer-Songwriter
Taste Budd's Chocolate and Coffee Cafe
40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
“I’m no Veruca counting up my silver spoons but I’ve got a golden ticket up my sleeve” says Singer/Songwriter Kristin Errett in her song “All I Want is Everything” off her debut album “Confessions of a Songbird”. Leaving home to pursue music, this 21-year-old songbird proves just that. Her rich and warm vocals combined with effortless piano playing have lead Kristin to be compared to female artists such as Sara Bareilles and Norah Jones; however, Kristin’s sound is undeniably unique. Often seen playing a Fender Rhodes, Kristin’s music has a 70s inspired sound, echoing artists like Fleetwood Mac and Carole King.

THE SHOTS have a unique twist to some of the covers and originals they play....“Rocking Bagpipes” - They mix in the bagpipes to songs like The Black Eyed Peas, “I Gotta Feeling,” Billy Idol, “Dancing with Myself,” or AC/DC, “It’s a Long Way to the Top”.

As a matter of fact, Lenny’s original reggae bagpipe tune, "The Rasta Piper" won 2nd place in World Music in the 2006 Billboard Song contest.
