This kid can play…” Hubert Sumlin (Howling’ Wolf) “…He has a rare sense of feeling…” Highway 61, Italy “…Guaranteed to hear more about him in the future…” Blues News, Norway First time on stage at the age of 3, but got his first electric guitar at 8, Krissy came into the blues four years ago at the age of 11.

Thanks for the add, man.

Just heard you on youtube, and thought that you do Hide Away better than Freddie King! Good luck with the music (although, you won't need any luck, with the way you play), and good luck with the exams.

All the best...

Hi Krissy,

Thanks a lot for a wonderful evening last Saturday! It took a while for the crowd to get warmed up (or, for that matter, to get them within 20 feet of the stage) though that wasn't your fault, you were marvellous & I seriously had a blast.

I'd like to share my selection of photos I took during your show with you. You can view them here:

http://eddyspeeder. hyves. nl/album/25447265/Krissy_Matthews_08_04_08/64VC/

My apologies it doesn't feature one of your pops; I was quite dissatisfied with my pictures of him mainly 'cause he was badly illuminated.

See you next time!
