Kristina Train’s powerful voice is leaving audiences amazed. Often compared to the likes of Allison Krauss, Dusty Springfield, Bonnie Raitt, the Savannah, Georgia native is making a name for herself with deep, expressive vocals and fiddle in hand. Her soulful singing complements her catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Drawing inspiration from her idol, Aretha Franklin, Train's bluesy vibrato alternates between gentle ballads and powerful belting as she sings with mature intensity and an awareness of her southern roots.
Kristina has lived immersed in music for as long as she can remember. She first picked up a violin at age three, and soon began singing in the church choir. High school presented performance experience in a string of blues bands, eventually leading to playing with musicians such as Widespread Panic's John Hermann and saxophonist Randall Bramblett. Her first demo caught the attention of industry legends Bruce Lundvall and Arif Mardin, who signed Kristina to Blue Note Records at nineteen.
Deeply rooted to her hometown, Train sings regularly at the Savannah Jazz Festival, the Savannah Music Festival, and other local Georgia events. Her sense of community extends to the musicians she performs with, who include Scrapomatic's Paul Olsen and Mike Mattison, Oliver Wood of the Wood Brothers, and Derek Trucks. She has collaborated and performed with Syl Johnson, the Max Weinberg Seven and Grammy winning songwriter Tony Arata. Currently, Kristina is in London, working on her debut album with songwriter and
producer Jimmy Hogarth.

Hello Kristina, and welcome my friend and young queen! You bring with you, a brilliant, beautiful sound, revealing many joyfully flowing octaves of life, arising from deep within! A sound, that conveys the strength of the ever flow'n rivers of Niagara, with the aris'n spirit of BB King, immersed, with Mozart, danc'n over a crisp season'd red violin, as it gathers around us, to then meander through us, with a celebration, a tenacity, the Lord-of-the-Dance, hopes to compare, but steps off with only dispare! As exciting, as a newly spun colorful coat, creat'd to announce a spectacular life unveiling celebration! Your sound, reaches out as a silky ocean melody, creatively unfolding its illustrations through the rivers of our canvas, as it permeates as an utmost desir'd, preserv'd red wine, that brings laughing oxygen to the desert of ones soul! To then, create as it calls forth through a whisper ....life arise.... This sound, out of a woman, through a young queen, to reveal a symphony aris'n destiny, hidd'n for season, behind a princess, will always be, believ'd... thank you for being you! your friend Robert Foster
