Kristin Allen-Zito’s songs are finely tuned, sharply barbed observations on life and love, wrapped up in delicate finger picking and sweetly layered harmonies.  Her first album, Helium, marked the arrival of a distinctive new voice and beguilingly fresh take on the singer/songwriter genre. It’s a record filled with small yet telling details  - coffee cups, cigarettes, stubbed toes - that become deft metaphors for the heart’s conundrums, complexities and contradictions. Her newer songs continue in this vein, but go further - exploring death, aging and of course love.  Update : Kristin is in the studio currently, working on her second solo album. She is also in the fabulous band The Trucks.
