Celeste Krenz , now living in Nashville, TN, garnered national attention with her debut album with her 2nd release charting at #11 on the Gavin Americana Radio chart alongside Willie Nelson, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Dar Williams. Robert K. Oermann of Music Row Magazine writes, "The purest folk voice I’ve heard in years, and that little catch in her throat gives it just a touch of hillbilly soul. I was so enchanted that I practically held my breath.” Krenz has had songs featured on NPR's 'Prairie Home Companion", has been a guest on Boulder Theater's E-town live radio show, and is currently played in rotation on folk and Americana stations around the country. Blix Street Records signed Celeste in 1999, recognizing her appeal to the same audience that had reacted strongly to other Blix Street artists, including Irish vocalist Mary Black, Scotland's Dougie MacLean and the late Eva Cassidy. An acclaimed songwriter herself, Krenz shows a strong lyrical sensibility and a poetic and emotional melodic sense, successfully staking out artistic territory in the vein so successfully mined by Lucinda Williams, Roseanne Cash and Shelby Lynne and Shawn Colvin. “Meticulously drawn songwriting, equal parts torch and poetry, brain and soul.” Colorado Daily -Best of Westword: Country Folk Artist -Named to music critics' "Best Colorado CDs of the Year" - Wishin' - Westword Magazine -Top 10 indie albums of the year - KPFK Kansas for 'Hello Country' -# 9 album of the year - KPFK Kansas -# 1 best selling Colorado Artist on Amazon.com -Top 100 artists on MP3 -Winner - Walnut Valley songwriters contest 2003 -Mainstage for Kerriville Folk Festival -Mainstage for Lyon's Folk's Festival
