Kristyn Harris is a singer, songwriter and entertainer from Burleson, Texas, known for her western swing spin on original and classic songs of the western and rural lifestyle. She is recognized for her powerful voice, swing rhythm guitar chops, songwriting, yodeling, and energetic stage presence, as well as the passion and authenticity she puts into each performance.

Kristyn tours across the U.S. and internationally, both as a solo artist as well as fronting various configurations of the Kristyn Harris Band. When she's not touring, she keeps busy with her black angus "Diamond K" cattle herd or training her newest colt. Her music is heavily influenced by her ranch life experiences and as well as her love for Texas and the West.
