Musical career

Her second album, Mudshow, established Krista Detor on the world stage. Working with partner and producer, David Weber, she released the follow-up album, Cover Their Eyes, in 2007. She has reached #1 on the Euro-Americana chart, and her music has been featured at the Cannes Film Festival, on NPR, PBS, the BBC, and on many U.S. and European national, regional, and local radio shows. She has appeared on both U.S. and European television and collaborated on the CD and stage show Wilderness Plots.

In March 2009, she was chosen to be a part of the Darwin Songhouse, with seven other songwriters in Shrewsbury, England, writing for seven days songs to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin in his hometown. The event, subsequent concert, and live CD release were covered extensively by the BBC.

Krista Detor released her fourth album, Chocolate Paper Suites, in March 2010, followed by a tour throughout northern Europe and the United Kingdom. The album consists of a series of five three-song suites, each connected by theme and/or imagery, inspired by the works of Federico García Lorca, Dylan Thomas, and Darwin, among other thinkers, artists and experiences.
