New Mexico based singer-songwriter Kristina Jacobsen combines elements of honky tonk, western, Americana and roots music to create soulful, place-based songs. Inspired by time spent in Norway, Italy and the Navajo Nation, she performs on both acoustic and lapsteel guitars, joining expansive, yodeling melodies to lyrics delving into the beauty and pain of human experience. Drawing favorable comparisons to Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams and Patty Loveless, Kristina’s songs are equal parts honest, playful and open-hearted. "Three Roses" was a collaboration between musicians and songwriters in the U.S., Scandinavia and the U.K. Thank you to all the fantastic musicians both in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Copenhagen, Denmark, who contributed their talent to make this album possible. All songs are my own unless co-written with someone else. At its best, songwriting restores a piece of humanity back to both the performer and the listener through the human connection songs create: thank you for giving a piece of mine back to me by listening and being in touch.
