Here Miss Kristin performs "The Runner" from her recent "The Runner" CD with her previous band, "The Flowers". This video means more than ever to me as Dennis "Sox" Donovan (the bass player in "The Flowers" passed this last Saturday 3-28-09.~RIP~ He was a kind hearted good man and a wonderful talent who struggled for some time to make a living as a musician doing what he loved. He will be missed and always remembered fondly... He was one of my bestest friends.
.. We headed into the studio last week to record drums for the new rockin collection of great tracks due out spring 2009. Recorded at Soundtek Studios in Campbell, CA; and engineered by Thom Duell, with Tom Landry (guitarist) and Craig Martin on drums~ A good time was had by all.
Now Tom knows he needs to call me QUEEN but he slipped up and called me the B word. It's not easy being the only woman with all this testosterone floating around. I gave him a good spanking after the session. Check out this cool video.
WELCOME TO THE INTRODUCTION OF "THE RUNNER"
Composed entirely by Miss Kristin Pedderson
Published Brave Girl Music BMI
"THE RUNNER" is shaping up to be what it is...
A dark and beautiful, lovely creation meant to heal me personally.
Some time back, I turned a corner in looking at my life and where I had been with the deception and unbelief in and all around me. I chose to expose it in hopes of transformation. (myself and others)
I knew I could not possibly be the only one in the world feeling this way/having this hurt and awakening, so I chose to do the brave thing and sing about it. Singing this music was never easy; My heart ached beautifully.
So this collection is a bit of a purge so to speak.
I'm glad it has come to fruition and is finally heading out into the universe.
I am letting go of it now...I have no expectations, only new resolve for a bright future.
And for your information: This music was recorded in my home studio with myself and Tom Landry doing most all the work.
We did go into Soundtek Studios in Campbell to do drums with Craig Martin and Robert Holmes on the kit. We had Norman Gonzalez on bass with Tom on "FLIM FLAM MAN" and Erick Thorton on Harmonica on "ALWAYS BEEN POOR".
All other work was myself, Miss Kristin and Tom Landry.
I am a writer first, then a vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist so it's nice to be able to get so much tracking done on my own.
Tom is an exceptional multi-instrumentalist. (too many instruments to list here)
These mixes you are hearing are my mixes and mastering.
I have been studying mixing and mastering and doing my own work for the last four albums now. I have an experienced team of professionals at my right hand to answer questions when needed. You will find the final masters available on the CD disc and through iTunes Digstation as well as Amazon.com.
Why not have a listen and see if you can hear the difference at Digstation here:
It's been a long journey with seven albums to date.
My mantra is; do the best you can with what you've got! And keep on rocking!
Stack the Deck! Lightening fast! (more of my mantras)
Please feel free to write and share your thoughts on the new music.
WE love to hear from you.
And don't forget to pickup some singles here through SNOCAP; as well as get a few ringtones below for your mobile phone.
Good Karma. ;-)

What a Rock Star!
Much love, Miss Kristin

Although Miss Kristin has been performing for years.
She has always been one to keep a low profile.
At times drenched by the driving rains of adversity
With each blinding flash, she comes out like a wind that blows safely weathering the storm.
Some of her best writing is birthed through this adversity.
And the winds of love have covered Miss Kristin
like a balmy breeze that brings showers of blessing.
Miss Kristins vocals are like a warm sweet south air ...
Her lyrics profile and embrace a vast account of life experience and hope,
waking the bliss through hidden truths sometimes hurts that remind us of who we are and where we are going.
