Live music for hire: solo fingerstyle guitar and vocals, warm enough to fill a room and soft enough to sit in the background. Available nationally, based right here in Utah.
Meet Kristen J. Lloyd
Kristen's songwriting draws comparisons to James Taylor and Carole King. Whether it's quiet background music during dinner or a featured concert with stories between songs, she reads the room and adjusts. Based along the Wasatch Front in Northern Utah, she's available locally without the added travel cost, and nationwide when the event calls for it. Requests are always welcome, before the event or in the moment.

Kristen arrives self-contained. You provide the space, she handles the rest.
We have booked Kristen to play for numerous company Christmas parties, and even several private parties in our home. She is simply wonderful, crazy talented, a great performer, and knows how to set a fun mood for whatever occasion she has been hired to play for. Her original work is beautiful as well.
Atmospheric & inviting. The warmth in Kristen's playing was an invitation to kick back, relax, and enjoy the evening. Hire her!
Whether playing music and singing during dinner service, at a special holiday event, or on stage at an outdoor concert, she stands apart from the rest. Kristen is a multi-talented artist noted for her incredible voice and wonderful guitar skills.
The senior residents absolutely love the performance, and even more so the personal stories that go along with the music.
She captured perfectly what we needed and provided us with a gem of a song, written from the point of view of Abraham Lincoln himself for our transcontinental railroad book.
Kristen has real purpose behind her lyrics. She's expressing her story in music, and it's powerful.
Her voice is clear and reassuring, with a timbre that calls to mind Joni Mitchell or Karen Carpenter. These are the songs of a young woman with an old soul.
Kristin is the whole package when it comes to entertaining. She is not only a gifted musician and songwriter, but also a true entertainer. She can set a mood and capture the attention of her audience, small or large.
