“All songwriters should be this good..”

– The Boston Herald

MusicDish magazine calls her work: “..like Richard Wright’s Manchild in the Promised Land; or the musical equivalent of Akira Kurosawa’s ‘Dreams”; The Allmusic Guide calls her “An artist of rare ability with a deep poetic gift,” and Rolling Stone, “A small miracle”; Krista Detor’s solo albums have reached national and international prominence, including #1 on the EuroAmerican chart. She’s shared stages with Victor Wooten, The Neville Bros., Loudon Wainwright and Joan Armatrading, among many others.

She is no ordinary songwriter: She was the only American woman invited to The BBC’s Darwin Songhouse Project, Shrewsbury England (2009); has been commissioned to write musical theatre for The U.S. Dept. of State in New Delhi, India (2012); For the Indiana Arts Commission (2013, 2016); and has written commissioned choral pieces for several national and choirs.

In 2020, she launched The Hundredth Hill Artist Residence and Retreat, along with her husband, David Weber, on their 50-acre homestead in northern Monroe County, for which they’ve been featured in Forbes, Broadway World, The Washington Post, and, (most importantly) Bloom Magazine.
