Celeste Krenz

Celeste Krenz was born and raised in North Dakota.She started writing songs at age 15 and continued writing through college (with time off traveling around the country as a full time musician).After returning and earning a marketing degree from the University of North Dakota, Celeste moved to Denver in 1990 where, before long, she developed a loyal following in a community that appreciated the honesty and warmth of her songs and voice.Not a newcomer to the music scene, she released four independent albums between 1993 and 1998, with "Slow Burning Flame" produced by Tim O'Brien and Bob Tyler, reaching #11 on music trade magazine GAVIN's Americana radio airplay chart.Blix Street Records, a specialty label that has built its reputation distributing some of the finest Celtic, folk and world music on the market, signed Celeste in 1999.
...
Using some of the songs from the last independent project, Wishin' as the nucleus, Celeste went back into the studio to record what has become the CELESTE album.

Now settled in her Nashville home, Krenz continues to grow as a performer and writer.
...
Like the song "Enough", in which Krenz explores our role in the chaos of the world's tragic violence and war.
...
"Krenz typifies a different breed of country artist quietly rising in this era ... a fresh spirit from which country msuic originally sprang and a college educated vocablulary"
...
"The album confirms that Krenz is one of the region's most engaging vocalists, male or female, with a soothing, intimate voice that yanks you headfirst into the song."

Using some of the songs from the unreleased last independent project as the nucleus, Celeste went back into the studio to record what has become the CELESTE album.Now settled in her Nashville home, Krenz continues to grow as a performer and writer.Celeste has a pure, sweet voice, as smooth as the great American plains.The new album retains the simple beauty that her prior indie records so gracefully achieved but with a fresh new band-oriented approach.
...
Although CELESTE is more produced than Krenz's other recordings, there is no mistaking the intimate songs and vocals that touch the spirit.Like the chilling "In The Arms Of The Moon" and "I Had A Dream About You," both of which ruminate about the hard realities of death--the first a family friend and the latter her 16-year-old sister when Celeste was 11 years old.
