Kristin Ormiston

Music is a form of storytelling that transports us. Due to my fascination with history I tend to go down rabbit holes of learning adventures, often related to my late family members, or the people and places that surround me. I love to shape those learning adventures into musical notes and poetic verses that bring my audiences along with me into those places of wonder and curiosity. The acoustic and melodic world of Canadiana folk style is my favourite way to take people there, as a lover of harmonies and the comfort of soulful themes.

Kristin Ormiston was Island born and raised on a farm with Jersey cows near Victoria, British Columbia. Her life has included many adventures including raising a large family, having a career in Musical Theatre, and being an Artist in Residence at an International School in Tokyo. She still travels quite a bit, always for work which also happens to be her pleasure.
