KIRSTIE LYNN & GALEN CLARK
(KANSAS CITY)
Kirstie Lynn and Galen Clark are a folk duo presenting a nostalgic and warm sound, blending elements of folk and progressive Americana all within an independent framework. The two met while attending Shenandoah Conservatory, Lynn pursuing a degree in Opera and Voice Performance and Clark a degree in Music Production and Recording Technologies, and have remained friends ever since. After a serendipitous reunion in Kansas City back in 2020, these old friends decided to pursue their folk music endeavors together.
Originally from the Fingerlakes region of Upstate New York, Kirstie Lynn's lyrics and virtuosic vocal lines bring to life stories of love, heartache, and the search for a greater meaning.

Lynn is also an avid and active naturalist working in outdoor education and conservation, through which many of her songs find their inspiration.
