Kristen Maxfield (Crimson Vixen)
Kristen Maxfield sings so pretty it hurts. When you tell her that, she tosses her head back and laughs. "But it's a good hurt, right?" she asks.
Just when you thought there was no more emotion left in a song to be wrung out over the crowd, Maxfield brings the room to a hush with an impassioned soul-sister send up that sends chills though the crowd like a goose-bump epidemic.
Maxfield's precious vocal boom is as big as her va-va-voom. At either end of her vocal spectrum hang notes that seem almost out of reach, and perhaps even a little daunting. When on stage and ascending to one of these lofty notes in the upper register, Maxfield frequently points to the note as if to warn that she's on the way to nail got up to belt it out.
"Anytime I need a little inspiration I'll go listen to Joss Stone or Marc Broussard, who are both phenomenal musicians and singers. Then I'll hit up the oldies; I love Janis Joplin, Dusty Springfield, Curtis Mayfield, Phoebe Snow, Al Green, Bill Withers, and Etta James, to name a few." You can vaguely hear these legendary and contemporary influences throughout her tone and attack, but nobody really sticks out. Kristen has her own voice, her own sound, setting her apart from any artist of todays time.
Maxfield, a young, red-headed beauty, currently resides in the big apple, bringing back an old school sound, desired by so many of todays fans.
