Kristen Cornwell (AUS) Vocals
Christophe Devisscher (B) Bass
Patrick Deltenre (B) Guitar
After the first musical meeting with Patrick Deltenre during recordings for her Duke Ellington CD Kristen knew that there was more music to make together. Deciding on a drummerless setting, together with husband and bassist Christophe Devisscher, the trio came together for the first time in 2014. Over the next few years followed a series of concerts and the in 2017 plans for recordings were made. With release set for March 2018, Spoonful, Back To The Blues is a homage to the essence of the blues. Repertoire from diverse sources from Buffalo Springfield to folk to Willie Dixon sit perfectly together in the expressive and intimate trio setting. A spoonful of musical medicine!
