CRYS

There was a woman, known simply as Miss Jim, who played guitar and drank whiskey deep in the hills; her lyrics and musicality made her a legend in the countryside. Decades later, her great-granddaughter picked up an old guitar, and followed the calling of her roots. Playing Cosmic Country and Honky Tonk Music, CRYS draws from iconic influences like Patsy Cline, Curtis Mayfield, Elizabeth Cotten, and The Chicks. “Ethereal, groovy, and sometimes meditative” songs are woven together by evocative songwriting, deft banjo playing, and rich soulful vocals.
