Keep an eye on the site for the release of Jan.s new solo acoustic CD “Midwest Urban Folk” Flannery O.Connor said, “writers need a strong sense of place.” | |

“There is so much diversity in Midwestern cities. While many of the musicians I know have adopted the voices of other regions, in Detroit, most have been influenced by the best of every thing they hear. We live in the middle of the country in the middle of the most populated sections of the Midwest. We hear a lot and we absorb it all... and it finds it.s way into the creative stew simmering away. Interestingly, what I see coming out of this is a sound distinctly our own which I have begun to call Midwest Urban.” Jan Krist | |

We proudly present Jan's first online musical offering. Jan lectured and performed at Calvin College's "Festival of Faith and Music" in March of 2003 and we recently procured a copy of the recording made that day. There's a few well known favorites and a few new songs that will probably make their way onto Jan's upcoming album. (hey! bonus! two news items in one.) Listen and enjoy. |
