My debut cd, Princess in the Tower, was released in April 2006. It is available online at ITunes and CD Baby, in Kansas City at Streetside Records in Westport and Prospero's Books on 39th, and in Lawrence at Keif's and Love Garden on Mass Street.
I also sing and play keyboards in Olympic Size and am featured on the Republic Tigers debut full length, Keep Color (released on Chop Shop Records) on the last track of the album, "Cast On, Cast Off".

2006 feature article "Jill of All Trades"
"...(Kirsten) established herself as a solo standout with 2006's eclectic, folk-informed solo debut, Princess in the Tower. [The] disc departs from the coffeehouse crowd with world-beat rhythms, an irresistible seductive streak and untamed guitars."
"...Let us completely drown in her masterful, world-weary voice."
"...One of the purest and most unaffected voices around."
"...Her confidently seductive delivery is ethereal, almost ghostly."
"...an autumnal cabaret of seductive balladry." (2005 early review of Princess in the Tower)
The Kansas City Star
"...warm, rustic, and austere electro-folk songs." (2006 review of Princess in the Tower)
X Magazine
"The thing about this singer/songwriter is just that; she really is a singer and really is a songwriter and does both of them incredibly well...I was blown away by her vocal aptitude and...lyrical prowess."
