Kirstie Kraus at EPAC

Wisconsin-raised Kirstie Kraus moved to Nashville in 2017 to pursue a flourishing career as a solo recording artist and songwriter.  Kirstie’s unique musical style is a blend of modern country, bluesy rock tones, and funky bass lines bubbling beneath the surface.  Since relocating to Music City, Kirstie has toured across the US and internationally and has opened for some of country’s biggest stars, including Thomas Rhett, Kip Moore, LANCO, Eric Paslay, Brandy Clark, Walker Hayes, Pam Tills, Brothers Osborne, and Randy Houser, to name a few. In 2023, her breakout year for the UK arrived with her playing the coveted C2C Festival at the O2 Arena in London.  In 2024, she was honored with the Artist of the Year – Country Music Female award at the Josie Music Award, which she accepted on the iconic Grand Ole Opry stage.
