Kristin Andreassen is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a background in traditional Appalachian music and dance. She spent the early 2000s touring as a clogger with Maryland's Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble before joining the old time stringband Uncle Earl and making two albums on Rounder Records with producers Dirk Powell & John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin. Kristin is now best known for her original songs, but she credits traditional music as a major influence on her lyrical and especially rhythmic ideas. At the Folk Art Museum, Kristin will be joined by her dance partner Megan Downes for a short clogging demonstration, followed by a set of traditional and original songs. www.kristinandreassen.com AMERICAN FOLK ART MUSEUM- located in MANHATTAN at 2 Lincoln Square, Columbus Avenue at 66th St. Kristin Andreassen is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a background in traditional Appalachian music and dance.
