Kristina Marie Castañeda
Saturday, August 16 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Kristina and Shawn are a male/female acoustic duo with smooth vocal harmonies over Shawn’s spacious, trickly guitar. The duo reinterprets and reinvents songs from over the last 100 years – classic jazz standards, blues, motown, country, and folk, while weaving in their own original songwriting, alongside covers from today’s contemporary pop, rock, and indie experimental artists. Kristina and Shawn adore connection with their audience, with songs about heartbreak, falling in love, revenge, celebration, family, work, struggle, resilience…songs ranging in theme across all of the relatable, human universals, for a musical experience that leaves an imprint
