Kristina Murray
Las Reinas love their locals- every Thursday night show your ID to see our secret menu.
“I’ve been to some pretty low places these last ten years,” Kristina Murray confesses. “Faced a lot of heartbreak and loss and grief, but you have to learn to live with those things if you’re going to survive. You have to persevere.”
That spirit of perseverance forms the bedrock of Murray’s stunning new album, Little Blue a collection of brand new tunes that grapple with loneliness, desperation, and existential crises through a series of cinematic snapshots of small-town burnouts and last call lovers. Murray is a country artist in the truest sense, a genuine craftswoman with a keen eye and ear for the little details that bring her working-class characters to life, and her delivery is timeless, blurring the lines between the old school honky-tonk, swampy Americana, and R&B-infused southern rock she grew up on in her home state of Georgia. If Murray sounds like a seasoned vet on Little Blue, that’s because she is. While the album marks her Normaltown/New West Records debut, Murray’s spent the last decade since moving to Nashville paying her dues in an endless series of dive bars and juke joints, and the result is an electrifying introduction to an artist only just beginning to get the kind of wider recognition her talent has long warranted. “Country music is having a moment right now, and of course I’m thrilled to be a part of that,” Murray reflects. “But even when that moment passes, I’ll still be making it. This genre’s a never-ending treasure chest of discoveries. Country music is who I am.” Born and raised in Atlanta, Murray self-released two full length records in 2013 and 2018; she currently lives in Nashville working and making music amongst the unsung heroes and degenerates in the undercurrent scene of American roots and traditional country music.
