Kirstie Kraus is a Nashville-based country artist whose modern country sound weaves in bluesy rock and funk undertones. Since moving from the Midwest in 2017, she has toured the U.S. and internationally, opening for Thomas Rhett, Kip Moore, Brothers Osborne, and more. In 2024, she was named Artist of the Year – Country Music Female at the Josie Music Awards, accepting the honor on the Grand Ole Opry stage. Her international presence continues to soar with a third UK tour set for 2025 following her breakout appearance at C2C Festival and a 5-week run overseas in 2024. Known for her collaborative spirit, Kraus has now released seven duets—including Largo with Mike Nash, a country–trop rock fusion that crowned her the next-gen star of trop rock and secured her spot at the genre’s major festivals. With her debut album Yes You Can still fueling momentum and new music underway, Kirstie is carving her place in country music while also serving as a host for CountryLineTV and The Heartland Network.
