ABOUT

Kristy Lee isn’t just a performer — she’s a weather system. 

 

With a voice that can hush a room one moment and shake the walls the next, she’s built a reputation for leaving audiences both wrung out and lit up. 

 

Born on the Gulf Coast and raised on grit, gospel, and a fierce streak of independence, Kristy’s songs carry the salt of the sea and the smoke of late-night dives.

 

On stage, she’s all-in, every time — no half measures, no autopilot. Every show feels like the most important one yet, because in her world, it is. 

 

Whether she’s commanding a festival stage, breaking hearts in a packed listening room, or turning a living room into a sanctuary, Kristy delivers music the way it was meant to be felt: raw, soulful, and unforgettable.

 

She’s shared stages and stories with an eclectic range of artists, defied easy categorization, and carried her sound across state lines and oceans alike. But the through-line is always the same: connection, truth, and the electricity that happens when a song finds its mark. 

 

The next time you see Kristy Lee, you might just walk away believing you’ve witnessed the greatest show of her life — until the next one.

PRESS

"Kristy Lee is at the top of her art on The Olive Tree. Her Southern gothic passion, penetrating voice and lyrics rattled my bones and brought back ghosts.

Sonically and musically, it’s a tour de force: creative arrangements, pure tones, jumping time signatures all kept me alive in the album."

-Emily Saliers, The Indigo Girls

​

"Kristy Lee is a triple threat. She has the unique ability to speak to souls, break hearts and mend them all at the same time. Her music is a breath of fresh air in a smoke-filled bar packed tight with anticipation."

-EUrban.com

 

"An Alabama girl full of emotion, who's acoustic guitar and rich vocals prove she is as passionate as Aretha Franklin circa soul '69."

-Ultra Underground (Australia)

 

"Kristy Lee has one of Alabama's most powerful voices. Her voice calls to mind long gone Blues Belters, Southern Soul Shouters, and Gospel Divas."
