The Music of Kirstie Kraus
Kirstie Kraus is an amazing young talent who has found a way to navigate two parallel tracks to success and stardom: in both the country music and Trop Rock / Island Music genres.
She already has racked up country music success and grabbed the attention of Nashville with hit songs that include Bird, Thirsty, Silver and Dab A Dolly (a tribute to country music icon Dolly Parton). In fact, Kirstie was honored at the Grand Ole Opry as the 2024 Female Country Artist of the Year by the Josie Music Awards for Independent Musicians.
But at the same time, Kirstie is also one of the most popular singers in Trop Rock today, with songs that include Beaches Be Crazy, Floridays, Tide Down (with Mark Mulch), the holiday remake Tropic Wonderland also with Mark Mulch, and the soon-to-be-released duet with Mike Nash called Largo.
